Giving Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Wipe out water debt, Hand-picked Christmas gifts, or Special holiday meals. Read more below.
We have had a long-standing debt to the water company. In 2020, 50% of our debt was for water, 527,911 pesos (about $31,053 at 17 pesos/dollar). For several years the government has pledged help with lowering the water debt for homes like ours; they finally passed a law that pardoned some past debt. The adjusted water bill is about $ 5,880, and we had a special donor gift of $2,425 for water debt. We now owe $3,455. This is a huge answer to prayer. Can you help lift this burden from us?

We shop for Christmas presents individually chosen for each child, based on their interests, desires and needs. This includes a toy and clothing. We hope to raise around $100 per child, with 20 kids (the number of kids is subject to change).
