HELPING HAND NEED
Lidia sells fast food dishes like Baleadas (a traditional dish in Honduras) pancakes, tacos, etc. Lidia has been working for a long time and struggling to support her family. Recently she was forced to quit as she does not have a working stove. Lidia desperatley needed a stove in order to provide for her family, which we were more than happy to provide for her. Lidia is now the proud owner of a new four-burner stove so that she may continue to cook and provide for her family.


THOUGHTS FROM LIDIA
"It is so amazing how prayers are answered. I have been praying by myself and as a family for help because of our money situation. I was really praying for help because I wanted to work again. I am so happy because I have my own stove that can go wherever I need it to, in order to provide for my family."
ADDITIONAL INFOA member of Lidia's church has provided a busy place outside of her clothing store where Lidia can set up and sell food, having the traffic of this new location will aid in Lidia's desire to continue to provide for her family and bring in more income.
