So the house is finished and we are getting ready to start building another house, but we did not think of were the little things that can help severely disabled clients in the homes that were already built. We live in a Hurricane area of the United States and if the power goes down the clients that we have housed can be left without power for days and even weeks. This quarter we invested in a generator that is built in and will turn on as soon as the power goes off because these clients will not be able to seek shelter anywhere else due to their Chronic Health issues and without electricity for that length of time could cause be a major issue and could be the difference between life or death. The houses are built like a bomb shelter with concrete walls, impact windows and doors but without power these clients health and life is at risk. Generators of this magnitude without mentioning any brand names cost over $14,000 ($14,480 installed to be exact). So your donations this quarter went to purchase one generator for one house of severely disabled individuals.
Without your donations and help we could not do this great work! Thanking you so much for all you to help us help them!
