Dominican Starfish Foundation hasn't added a story.
Sheyla and David are an amazing young couple who live in the Dominican Republic. They are a perfect example of young people who are trying to help themselves and others. They are volunteers for Dominican Starfish Foundation.
Sheyla has learned to make hair products. This is a very laborious job she does in her home making only pennies in profit for her amazing projects. People from Canada helped her receive her degree in business management but jobs are hard to find.
David has helped the foundation in so many ways including taking a 3 day trip which was 8 hours each way to help a destitute community.
Sheyla is the daughter of our director, Amarilis Urena. She has spent thousands of hours yearly over the past 10 years serving the community on a completely volunteer basis. June 21 is her birthday. Since she won't accept pay from the foundation, we have created a surprise for her by raising funds for her daughter to have a home. When this happens she will live near her mother and will be able to take over some of the responsibility of the foundation!!
Thank you for your donations! Dominican Starfish Foundation is a registered charity in Canada and tax receipts will be issued!!
A Foundation home in the Dominican Republic costs $13000 USD for two bedrooms. Thank you to Showhome Furniture for helping us raise the remaining funds for Sheyla and David's home.
The foundation has built and remodeled 152 homes since 2014. These are two of the latest homes that were delivered in June of 2021
