As many of you have heard, yesterday there was a huge fire in Caraballo that destroyed 10 home.  Thankfully no one was hurt, but everything they owned was destroyed.
Many of you have already reached out to ask how we can help.  And this is the update.

Today we met with many Government officials and leaders in the community to coordinate our efforts in helping these families.

The Government is going to be doing a lot of the work to restore the building and replenish the items that were lost in the homes, including beds, stoves, clothes etc. They seem to be working fast.  Today they came with a crew to measure the building, along with a crew that brought food, clothes, mattresses and bedding.  They were well organized and amazing.  It was inspiring to meet many of them.

A few things they cannot provide are doors, windows and inside walls and they have asked us if we can help these families in this way.  This will consist of 25 doors, 2 windows and 10 inside walls.  

3 weeks ago, there was another house in the community that had destroyed everything in their home and the Government asked us if we could help this family with a table and chairs.

It total, this will all cost $5500.

If you would like to donate, here is how.  100% of your donation will go to help these families.
