Hanes Jen

Mae Jen yn gwneud y cwbl y gall hi i ennill arian ar gyfer addysg ei phlant. Mae'n tyfu cnwd gwyrthiol - pys colomennod.

Ond heb help, mae'n colli elw i fasnachwyr drwg, sy'n dwyn ei gallu i ofalu am ei phlant oddi arni.

'Rwy'n ysu gweld fy mhlant yn cwblhau eu hysgol. Mae'r breuddwydion hyn yn bwysig iawn i mi, oherwydd trwy wneud hyn, rwy'n sicr y byddaf yn creu dyfodol da i'r plant.' Jen Bishop.

Ni ddylai'r un fam orfod wynebu dewis pa blentyn i'w addysgu a pha un fydd yn gorfod hepgor ei freuddwydion.

Gall eich rhoddion chi drawsnewid bywydau yr Wythnos Cymorth Cristnogol hon. Gallai eich cyfraniad helpu teuluoedd i sicrhau dyfodol gwell i'w plant, gan roi cyfle iddynt wireddu eu potensial.

Mae casgliad 2023 Penrhyn-coch at Gymorth Cristnogol yn un drwy’r we – ers 2020 a 2021 nid oes casgliad o ddrws i ddrws. Os ydych am gyfrannu i Gymorth Cristnogol drwy gasgliad Penrhyn-coch a ddim am wneud ar y we gallwch anfon siec yn daladwy i 'Cymorth Cristnogol' at Ceris Gruffudd, Rhos Helyg, 23 Maesyrefail, Penrhyn-coch, Aberystwyth, SY23 3HE neu Eglwys St Ioan', d/o Y Ficerdy, Garth, Penrhyn-coch SY23 3EP. Gallwch holi am ffurflen rhodd gymorth os yw’n berthnasol. Bydd y casglu'n dod i ben ar ddiwedd mis Mehefin.

Jen's story

Jen works hard to provide for her children. But she can barely scratch a living from the soil. Soaring costs of food, fuel, fertiliser, school uniforms and school fees are crushing dreams and keeping her family in poverty.

Now, Jen has had to make a choice. One no mum should be forced to make. Rising costs mean Jen can pay for only one of her sons’ college courses.

But Jen remains resilient. ‘We say, let’s work hard so that the money will help the children go to school,’ she smiles.

Jen and her husband have two acres of pigeon peas, but they are struggling with the effects of the climate crisis. The rainfall is unreliable, and there are more storms, flooding and stronger winds.

The pigeon pea is a tough plant, able to withstand a lot – just like Jen. But to make the most of her crop, Jen needs to plant good quality seeds and sell for the best price possible, and not to unscrupulous middlemen.

Your gift could help famers like Jen plant better seeds, secure a fairer price for their crops, and build happier futures for their children.

Please give today, and help this strong and determined mum provide for her family’s future.

You may request a gift aid form if relevant. The collection will close at the end of June.
