TOday at the tender age of 62 I rewired a lamp!!! Best part I went and bought the parts in Spanish!!! I just had to brag!!
On a much more serious note... I have adopted a family of 7 people. I AM ASKING FOR HELP
5 children and parents. Ana has been collecting my trash for over 4 years .. never once has she missed ... while pregnant or the day AFTER she had the babies.
This week her husband who has returned from the USA had an accident. She ask me to drive her to the hospital which of course I did. The husband had stitches and a bad concussion. He got settled away and she ask me to drive her home .. HOME is not what I would call it...
They live in a mud hut with a board roof held down with rocks, No windows, doors , water, lights ... NOTHING... they sleep on the ground. IT IS VERY VERY COLD HERE..at night.
I had no idea this family was in such need. I have found them a small house to rent... Two bedrooms with kitchen, for about $150 USD a month. I plan to pay the rent for at least 6 month until they can get on there feet and set up with the gov programs.
At least they will have water , toilet.. but no hot water or heat. I did find a cooking stove for them today so they will have something. Also have been donated two blow up matteress.
These people are the poorest of the poor. SO poor that the social services can not help.
Because they did not have a "REAL' address they could not apply for help... so now with help they will have an address. Plans are in the works to get them in the system. Despite ALL of this hard ship her 3 oldest children are in school and she wants them to stay there... She is a mom so worth helping.
They need so much, I am collecting whatever you have ... if you live here in San Miguel I will come get it... if you live out of Mexico Money is always welcome... I will control it and you can be assured it will go to this family.
A friend of mine knitted them some hats to help keep warm... Thank you Michele... EVERY little big helps... small rug, a pan, a plate, cleaning supplies.. sheets , blanks etc...
Meet the family IN THEIR HATS>..
:Ana the mom, Jesica 11, Oscar 14 , Julisa 1, Gabriela 3 , Monse 9
Get your Christmas spirt out... if you can not help then send a prayer... they can use all of them.
Happy Holidays... Victoria...
