Hi everyone,
A new FG fundraising page has been created to complete the final stage of the project to build a new room for Francisco and Evelyn and their family.Thanks to many of generous sponsors we have already raised over $2,000.00 in order to build a safe, secure and comfortable new room for this family. However, although stage one and stage two fundraisers have been completed, we still have about another $825.00 to raise in order to raise the required funds. Now it is time to begin stage 3 for final stage. The need is still great - probably more so as time passes and there is some urgency to begin construction before the torrential spring rains begin and make the crumbling shack even more dangerous. Some of the holes in the walls are only covered with portions of cotton sheets which will not stop the rain coming in and turning their dirt floor into wet mud. We hope, therefore, that you will be equally generous or spread the word to other prospective donors so that the new room can be built as soon as possible
Steve, Evelyn's sponsor, will be visiting the family in December and it would be wonderful if Steve would be able to advise this worthy family that they will soon have the house that they have only dreamed about.
Please consider helping to complete this final stage by donating whatever you can. The family will be very appreciative of your generosity and the children will certainly thrive in a safer and sturdier home. We have high hopes and a vision for Evelyn and Francisco and we want to ensure that this dream of a safer living environment becomes a reality for this family. A heartfelt thank you again to all of you wonderful sponsors and friends who have donated to Stage 1 and Stage 2. And a warm thank you to all who have given their time, effort, words of encouragement to help make this dream become a reality. Thank you and God bless.
