The Construction Has Begun



Good Morning from Honduras.  I just wanted to give a quick update in regards to the construction project for Carlos and Cindy. As I mentioned in my last post it will take about $1,400 to add a living room, kitchen, and bathroom onto the little building where they live.  I'm excited to tell you that we have raised $2,400 for the project.

Big thanks to all of you who have contributed, so many friends from Cardinal Health, Tennessee, Florida, Mattoon, and Family members made contributions, I'm very grateful.

I spoke with Carlos a few days after I posted the story and told him to get started, as we had already received $600, he was so excited and grateful for the support.  He's excited about the additional space and he's even more excited about the fact that he's providing for his sister.

Some of the materials have been purchased and the work has begun.  Here are some pictures.




Bags of concrete.

More photos to come. 


As for the surplus of money I will keep you posted.  I have a friend who needs a bathroom, his family is currently using what looks like a tent, and Carina and I are discussing other families that need help.


Sincerely,

Michael, Carlos, & Cindy
