Let's Lend a helping Hand!
Charito's Fund * Helping the ones in Need

Hello friends!

Today I want to post about a friend. A mother, a friend a servant of God, a widow.

Her name is Charito. Charito was left as a widow with two kids named Devin and Marneri, and no home in March of 2005. The only thing her husband was able to leave her was a little piece of land. She lives in the Dominican Republic where I grew up. The family has been staying in a house that was loaned to them for a definite amount of time. This time has passed and they haven't been able to finish their little home yet.
Charito has been told that she has to leave the borrowed house by January.

Since my earliest memories I can remember Charito. She is a great friend to many. I remember when I was very little she would work with her mother washing clothes. They both worked very hard to pay for the food for their big family of 7 girls (one of them adopted by the family) and a boy.
Charito has been a hard worker all her life. Later on when her mom was too sick and there was no work for her dad in the small town, she took on all the work all by herself to keep feeding her family. As they grew bigger and some of the sisters left the house Charito was able to work to put her younger sister through medical school (which really doesnt pay much in our country). Every day she continues to work hard to keep her two kids healthy and fed.

Devin & Marneri are the greatest kids. They both understand when mom can't afford to buy ice cream from the guy selling on the streets, much less new toys. They are very close and take care of each other and love sharing. Devin is quite the big brother, he can take an hour trip holding half of that bag of cheetos to take it home to his sister.

Below are some pictures of the project I want to ask for your help for. It is a construction project. As you can see by the pictures it is a very modest home. It is small, two rooms, one bathroom a kitchen and living-dining room combination. She was about to just build a little shack but many friends in the community offered to volunteer their time to help build her house. Someone gave her a gift of 1000 blocks, but the rest has been hard earned by this widow mom and borrowed to be paid back with interest.

She is in desperate need of the remaining materials to complete her project before she loses her temporary housing. I can think of no other person more deserving of a helping hand. She has spent her life pouring herself out for other people. Please help me bless her by sending a donation. Every penny will go straight into the cost of the materials required to complete this project.
