It’s official, 2020 is here and most people are pondering on what goals they want to achieve this coming year. Amazingly enough fitness and health goals continue to be the number one focus nationwide. I wonder if it has anything to do with holidays, apple pie, special desserts and treats were abounding in my home.
In October 2019, Les and I made our way to the Dominican Republic to look over what projects we will be focused on for our team in April. We have decided to build a home for a widow of two children who has lost their father to a fishing accident only a few short months ago.
Alexandria is a shy mother of two teenagers who live in a very small two-room wooden structure compromised by termites. She makes her living cleaning and makes about $10 a day. She was still in the grieving process when we met her last October. After we were able to verify the deed on the land was secure and the home we build will not be taken from her we set out to price out the material costs.
The good news is we have made the commitment to build Alexandria a home.
Our focus in the Dominican has been to help widows, the elderly, and those who need shelter, medical care, clean water, and education. The goal is to work alongside the Dominicans and Haitians and provide a hand up.
I have a simple request.
Would you be willing to help us with two projects?
1) Build Alexandria a home.
2) Finish the repairs on a church we started working on last year. The need here is tile flooring and a new paint job.
We have raised half the money we need so far but still in need of another $7,000 dollars.
You can make a secure donation on our website by clicking on the donation tab. We appreciate you help and thank you for your generous support to complete these two projects which will be completed in the first week of April 2020.
