Dominican Starfish Foundation hasn't added a story.
We know this wonderful guy as Jose Taxi.
For 7 years now, Jose Perez has been transporting us all around the area of Puerto Plata and beyond. We've grown to love him and count on him for so many things. He is so much more than a taxi driver.
He always pitches in and helps with our projects!
He is a wonderful, dependable driver. He always knows how to find the places we need to go. After having built 60 homes, we can just show him a picture of the home and he takes us there. He also has driven us to numerous designations and has been our faithful paparazzi.
He loves baseball and softball and plays on a team. He gets out an participates with the children.
He is a fantastic friend to many and makes us laugh every day.
He is a loving husband and father and works so hard to provide for his wife and 3 children.
He has helped is so many ways and is a very important part of the work we do in the Dominican Republic. Now it is our turn to help him. Dominican Starfish Foundation in Canada and Pal Humanitarian in the USA are raising funds so that Jose and his family can have a home.
The family is currently renting a home. The taxi business is very slow for 8 months of the year. It will be great to not have to pay rent. (In August, September and October of 2017, Jose made a total of $24 driving taxi.)
We recently raised the money to purchase some property for Jose. It is a great piece of land where they will be able to build a home, plant fruit trees and a garden, and raise chickens for eggs and food. They are so excited about this.
If everyone who has ever ridden with us in the taxi donates just a little we will have the money to build the home and change the life of his family forever! Thanks to all. As always, tax receipts will be issued.
