Dominican Starfish Foundation hasn't added a story.
Marlenis and Angelina Cruz are sisters who live in very desperate conditions in the Dominican Republic. They have 5 children between them. Their home is covered in mold and has an overpowering musty smell. The walls have huge holes making them open to the frequent rain. They have an outdoor "kitchen" which is a complete disaster! The building structure is very unstable and could come crashing down on the little ones in any strong wind. The mother of the young women died of cancer 4 years ago. The cost of her care left the whole family with nothing and no way to help themselves. Their father, Andres (Gambo) has a tiny store from which he tries to support the family.
He also goes to neighboring communities on his motor-bike trying to sell fruit. Jack and Louise ZoBell are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary on May 15, 2021. Because of Covid restrictions, a traditional celebration is impossible so they have chosen to fundraise to help this family have a new home.
Please donate if you are able to help them celebrate but more importantly to help a family in great need! 100% of funds raised will go toward helping with the home. All donations will receive a charitable tax receipt.
