You may remember the google group child, Paola from previous posts. When Mack visited the family in Mexico a few months ago, it was clear to all of us that the family was living in some of the worst conditions imaginable!!! We decided that we needed to take action, and a request was sent to the field to ask how we could help the family.
A list was given to us of several things that the family was in need of. We started with the stove because the family was using an open fire, which is not safe with small children running around. Several group members gathered our money together, and came up with the funds to buy a stove and gas cylinder.
That still left several items on their list, and with all of the fundraisers going on... Let's just say it can get overwhelming. Then, we received notification that two very generous and anonymous donors had sent $1007.00 to be used on the family!!! This donation will be used to provide them with a floor in their home, which they clearly need. The dirt floor they have now causes everything to be dusty, including their feet, hair, clothes, bed, etc. The rest of the donation will be used to repair the roof, so that the rain does not get into the home.
I don't know who that donor was, but I would like to thank them on behalf of myself, the group, and Paola's family! We are very grateful for your generosity!!!
