HELPING HAND- DEC2011-LUCIO GARCIA

Prepared by Isis
HELPING HAND RECIPIENT:  Lucio de Jesus Garcia started his trade at just 17 years old, now 11 years later at 28 he has mastered the skill and is an excellent mechanic. Lucio is a family man that is eager to provide for his wife and his 7 year old son that has special needs. Lucio’s son is unable to walk and is not able to consume solid food. His son is on a special liquid diet that is very expensive.

HELPING HAND NEED: Lucio works in a local mechanic shop but is unable to work enough hours to earn enough to really make ends meet. Lucio is asked frequently to do side work for people on their cars to really make it a full time career but has been unable to fulfill these requests as he lacks the right tools to do this outside of the mechanic shop. Lucio requested the tools necessary to start his own full time business, which we were happy to provide. Lucio received a specialty tool set that included all he would need to make his work profitable and more consistent to be able to provide for his family.

THOUGHTS FROM LUCIO: “I am very thankful with God and with you that you helped me. For me this is a huge help you don’t even know how happy I am. I always dreamed about to have my own business now it is no longer just a dream.  Now, I will look for a place and put my own car repair shop. God bless you and this great foundation so that you can be able to keep helping a lot of people.”
