Julio, pictured above, escaped the volcanic eruption in the nick of time, fleeing with his wife, Micel, and their two young daughters. For months to follow, the family lived in temporary shelters, grieving the loss of more than 40 loved ones and wondering how they would ever rebuild their lives.
When Julio and Micel learned they would be receiving a new home, they stood in stunned silence. After a few minutes, tears began to run down Julio’s face. “I do not have words to thank you enough, but I know that the Lord will reward you,” Julio said. “I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I honestly can’t thank you enough.”
Many more families were blessed with new homes, complete with electricity and indoor plumbing, these houses will relieve the burden on traumatized families and help them move forward from tragedy. Thank you for being part of this compassionate outreach!
