Delia Lopez Garcia is 34 years old and has been a widow for 11 years. She is raising two children on her own, that are 13 and 11 years of age. She sells packets of ground coffee in the market in Jocotan and earns about $30 a month. Her house was very deteriorated. It is the first time for the La Puente church to participate in this and they have a number of other people that they would like to assist. Her comments “I am so thankful because I truly do not have anyone to help me like this. I am raising my children alone and there is never enough to try to improve our house. May God bless Servant Ministries for providing better housing for my family; may He bless everyone who was a part of this.”

Modesta Ramirez Ramirez is 75 years old and has been a widow for 30 years. She has one son who still lives with her but they have not been able to improve the condition of their house. The Servant Ministries church in Matazano had been trying to collect funds to help Modesta. When they understood that this could be done under the ministry’s Samaritan Project, they were thrilled to be able to do the project right away. Modesta still tries to go out and work in the fields but only earns about $15 a month. Her son also does agricultural work and earns about $25 a month. This was the first time for this church to get involved in the Samaritan Project and they also have other future candidates that they would like to assist. Modesta’s comment “Thank you so much Servant Ministries for helping us to have the housing that we really needed. May God bless all that assisted with this.”
