HELPING HAND RECIPIENT: Josefa Pastrana is 45 years old and has three daughters who are all in school. Josefa is a hard worker and runs a small business selling potatoes, bananas and onions.HELPING HAND NEED: Several years ago, Josefa, could sell her grocery items in the street to make money to support her and her daughters, but recently she started to be affected by her osteoporosis. It became hard for her to walk even short distances so she started using a wheelchair to get around. Because she is not as mobile, it became impossible for her to continue selling her goods in the street.
Now she runs her business out of her house. Her neighbors were continually asking her for grains because there was no one close that sold those items. For Josefa to be successful and increase her business from her house, she needed to sell beans, rice and corn. While we were talking with Josefa we noticed other items that people were asking for that she did not have. We not only bought her beans, rice and corn but also spaghetti, seasonings, eggs, oil, salt and some sugar.
THOUGHTS FROM JOSEFA: Please tell the foundation owners that they will be blessed for doing all this to help the people of Honduras. Personally I am so grateful for this help. Now I can have more income and give my daughters education. God bless you and all your families. Thanks for your noble heart.
