Yamileisly & her family get a bathroom!





Yamileisly is sponsored by Dee. Although Dee has been hit by the hard financial times of this economy, she was still able to pull together funds to provide her sponsor child with something the rest of us take for granted~ a toilet (as well as the sink and room to go with it)!!! Talk about having a heart of gold! She has definitely gone the extra mile to make sure that her sponsor child Yamileisly can remain healthy (and so can her family)!
This is what Dee had to say:
"I'm so excited that the family received the materials for their new bathroom, What a difference it will make. Something so simple yet so needed! I can't wait to see the finished project. Yamileisy's letter says;

"My Dear Darleny;
Hello, I am very happy because you are thinking about me and my family. Thanks for the donation. We received; clothes, shoes, 1 Polo shirt (for dad) 2 blouses (for mom) 2 pair pants (Yami) 1 toy, construction materials; concrete blocks, pipes, cement, sink, toilet, etc. With love, Yamileisy"

Comments: The child was very happy and thankful to the sponsor for this great donation. The family gives thanks to the sponsor and said: "We are really happy and will ask God to bless and give health for the sponsor."
I really wish they didn't have to take up so much precious room listing everything. The photos are enough proof. I'd rather hear all about them, as many have mentioned before.

Just the other day I was telling an acquaintance about my CI kids and getting them a bathroom. He is a foster parent so I thought he'd be interested in my story. I told him about my upcoming fundraiser for the family's Income Generating Project. He then gave me $10 to put towards it. I was so grateful. I came home and put it into my FirstGiving page (even though it isn't up to my number yet). I love my CI kids and talking about them to whoever will listen. I try to carry my trip photos and SNG photos with me so that they know how real it is!
