PAL Humanitarian Services Inc. hasn't added a story.
Dominican Starfish Foundation loves helping people who help themselves! Marlena is one of these and her story touched our heart.
Marlena lives in a disreputable neighborhood with sordid and unsavory neighbors. Every day she fears for her children and especially her 12 year old daughter Raquel who has already been the victim of abuse.
Marlena has been saving her funds for years to try to have a home for her family. She lives in a rental home. Here is one of the beds where several of the children sleep together.
Marlena has worker very hard to help herself and her family and now saved $5000 US but that isn't even enough for a plot of land.
Through the kindness of Walt and Roxane, we have been able to gift her a plot of land in our new community in Loma de la Bestia.
Here she will be safe with her family. We are so very proud of her determination to help herself and want to lend a hand.
Kim Hamilton who has helped now with 6 homes in the Dominican Republic, has generously offered to sponsor this family to help them have a new home. Again she will be raising funds by selling her famous Caramel Apples.
We are also so very grateful to Roxane Quaranta and Walt Lorgan who have generously provided the family with a plot of land for us to build their home! They have blessed so many families who don't own their own property with a place to build a home, and we are so grateful to them.
As always, 100% of your donation goes toward the projects you help with. Of course your donations qualify for charitable tax receipts in Canada and the USA.
Your apple orders from Kim will help so much, as well as any donations you can spare for the Dorvil family!
This is another home that Kim Hamilton raised funds for and Walt and Roxane helped with the land.
