Why The KidSAKE Foundation Exists
The letters weren’t even written to her, but they changed her life forever.
Jenny Rogers, a single mother of three, read letters from her best friend’s brother. Chief Jones was in the Air Force and based in Honduras. He wrote home about the Honduran people and his experiences.
Jones’s stories made their way into Jenny’s hands. They were stories of desperate Hondurans accosting the airmen as they threw their trash and spoiled food in the dump... Stories of villages in the mountains where the poor Hondurans generously shared the little they had with the visiting airmen... Stories of shoeless children who waited for visitors at the airport to carry luggage and raise 10 cents to buy food.
“They were letters that would make you cry, and you would feel such compassion for the people,” Jenny said.
Four months after reading the first letter, she traveled to Honduras herself to see how she could help.
