PAL Humanitarian Services Inc. hasn't added a story.
Zaida is a young 33-year-old mom who lives in great poverty in the Dominican Republic with her husband and 2 of her children and new baby grandchild. Most of the time her husband is off "looking for work" and she is alone. Her "home" is made from rusty tin and scraps of wood. She has another 12-year-old child who doesn't live there because there isn't room for him.
Inside, her home is so well cared for and tidy.
Her 16-year-old daughter is a new mother. The baby is only 2 weeks old. All five sleep in the same bedroom on beds in terrible conditions. The tiny baby was under a mosquito net with a tiny open bible beside him. The new mom was sitting outside tearing an old sheet into rags so that she could make a rug to go beside the bed. In this photo, our Dominican director, Amarilis, lifts the sheets to show us the condition of the bed. This interesting photo shows the sunlight shining through the roof onto the bed. Whenever it rains, which is often, the family is drenched in water.
The "bathroom" is just a short toilet with no plumbing.
When funds are raised, the home will be built by Dominican Starfish Foundation construction workers who are locals employed by the foundation. Dominican Starfish Foundation has built, bought and refurbished over 90 homes for families in desperate need in the Dominican Republic.
This is one of the recent ones.
Please help Daniela get a new home for her family. Charitable tax receipts will be issued.
