Letter from the family:

Hello!! We are a family of 5 living in a little room where we sleep all together in the same bed. Our house is made of wood but not in good condition. The roof and walls are full of humidity and because of that our little boy has been getting lung diseases. Our daughters also get allergies very often because of the damp conditions we live in. When it’s very windy outside sometimes parts of our roof get damaged too so we’ve tried to fix it multiple times but all of our effort is only temporary. We’ve put a tarp and heavy things on top of it so it doesn’t blow away because that’s all we can afford for now. We’ve tried to save money so we can improve the house but things happen like we lose our job or one of the children gets sick and we have to spend the little we’ve saved. Our situation sometimes is very frustrating because our daughters are growing up and we can’t give them their own privacy. We simply don’t have the resources to build the space they need. That's why we come to you with all of our heart. We ask that you take us into account. We really need your help so we wait for you with a lot of expectation. God bless you!!!
