HELPING HAND- MARCH 2011-ALBERTINA CENTENO

PREPARED BY ISIS

HELPING HAND RECIPIENT: Albertina Centeno is devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Albertina and her husband are the parents of 3 children, two of whom passed away leaving Albertina and her husband responsible for raising 4 of their precious grandchildren.


HELPING HAND NEED: With the added responsibility of raising her 4 grandchildren the Centeno family has struggled emotionally with the loss of their family members and also financially to provide some basic items the family needs. Albertina works to supplement the family’s income by selling tortillas, in addition to her husband working as a security guard. The family currently has 2 beds for the 6 family members and really needed some help making sure they all had a comfortable place to sleep. Grandway was happy to help the Centeno family by providing extra beds to make this amazing grandmother and her family a little more comfortable.


THOUGHTS FROM ALBERTINA: “Thank you for the help, I really want you to know how much this means to me. I have faith that this all comes from God and I know that life have been hard but God blesses me when I really need it and is now blessing me through you. Thank you for coming to my home and helping me and my family”
