HELPING HAND-JANUARY 2011 WENDY

Prepared by Isis

HELPING HAND RECIPIENT
Wendy Giron is a hard worker from Choluteca, Honduras, who works out of her home as a seamstress, and her husband works from home as a home builder. They have 4 children; Josselin (12), Nayeli (9), Kristian (6) and Leonardo (2). The children enjoy spending time with their family. Both parents work very hard to provide for their family however, the money they make is only enough for daily sustenance. They don't have additional money to help improve their quality of life.
HELPING HAND NEED
While visiting the Giron's, we discovered the home they lived in was in extremely poor condition. The home was lacking an essential water connection. The Giron's would often have to borrow drinking water from their neighbor, and travel to the river to do laundry. Also the children's beds were in horrible condition, the boxed springs were worn and broken. We provided this loving family with a water connection and provided beds for the children. The family now has clean water to use for drinking and laundry. We were also able to help them by providing beds for the children. Now the children are able to sleep comfortably.


THOUGHTS FROM WENDY
"For years I never thought someone could help our situation. Each day I had to walk to the river to do laundry and borrow drinking water from our neighbor. I am so grateful for the help you have given our family."
