I have seen first hand the amount of food given; and it is a very good amount of food... after visiting Mayan Families and seeing how the organization works, I can honestly say that Sharon is NOT in it for the money. She truly is in it to help others. Her house is fairly small, and she has taken homeless into her home - she has taken stray animals into her home to help save them (they are literally skin and bone when going into her program to begin with)... I feel confident that our families ARE getting what we have sent them.
We sponsored all three families to have food for a month when we went to see them. This was the week of May 10-17.
