Dreams Come Home through Safe Housing

September 20, 2017 by Cross Catholic Blog

Thanks to the kindness of friends of Cross Catholic Outreach and our ministry partners in the Diocese of Santa Rosa de Lima in Guatemala, families who once lived in dilapidated shacks now live in safe and sturdy homes for the first time in their lives. These durable concrete block homes will stand-up to wind, rain and harsh sun. Maria Mejia and her six children were one of the families that received a home. “I’m happy because the other one used to get wet when it rained. Here we knew we would be able to sleep peacefully.” Maria never thought that she and her children would have a safe home, but thanks to your generosity, this impossible dream has become a reality!

 

Before: Maria lived in this small shack with her children
