It only took one strong storm and Jacklin’s entire roof would detach from the walls and fly away.
“Man, I was in misery, misery, misery,” he said. “The children were living in a puddle of water and mud.”
In the midst of putting together the remnants of his house, Jacklin learned he would receive a new house, thanks to the Cross Catholic-supported project, Kobonal Haiti Mission. Today, his family is living comfortably in a sturdy home made of concrete—and he asked me to relay his gratitude to those who helped change his life:
“This is only by the grace of God. I work so hard to provide for my kids, but to build a new house is not easy. I could not have done this by myself. Thank you! I am out of misery. Now look at our house. Look at our new hygienic conditions. This new house will help me support my family. I have received the call from God to be more faithful to his service.
“Because you have my family in your heart, then I will keep you all in my heart and prayers!”
