I actually found this very hard to write because all words seem so inadequate! But I’m glad that you took time to share what you were thinking. You’re right – a small amount of money makes a huge difference.

The line “I don’t just have a house but I have a home” was especially moving. When I was on a MAT in Guatemala, Bob Hentzen shared with us that most of the families “work a day, eat a day” meaning if there is no work that day, there is very likely no (or very little) food. Being there really solidified my understanding of the stressors these families face and how such a (relatively) small contribution of financial support from us sponsors can go such a long way for people like Luisa. Thank you for sharing her story.
