Dominican Starfish Foundation hasn't added a story.
Reniel and his wife, Carmen and children, Edward and Rainielis live in very humble conditions in the Dominican Republic.
Their home is in very bad condition and is being eaten by termites making the structure very unstable.
They have a very old stove inside the house and an outdoor kitchen.
The roof is very insecure and has large holes. It leaks whenever
there is rain which is very often.
This is the bedroom. They have two mattresses on the floor.
In their tiny hut, they have no bathroom. They have to use a bucket.
Reniel works very hard to just have enough to feed his family. He works 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, as a security guard. This makes 84 hours per week work for a wage of $75. If he wants time off, it is taken from his wages. He rarely gets to see his children.
He is a dedicated father and great man with wonderful Christian values. We would really like to help their family have a home. Please help if you can.
Here's how you can help. When lots of people join together miracles can happen!! Any amount you can give will change lives!!
