Helping Hands Program

Maria Rosa and her children are among our most faithful and needy people.  She lives in a small stone and wood structure that resembles a stable.  They have no running water, or electricity and it rains and snows through their roof.  The children sleep on the dirt floor on pieces of old cardboard boxes.  Their diet consists mainly of beans and hand-made tortillas, when they have flour or corn.  Her husband Selso, has a terrible drinking problem and often leaves home for weeks at a time.  He provides no financial benefit to the family and both Maria Rosa and the children often suffer physical abuse.  She can earn the equivalent of one US dollar for her belts, of which about 50 cents would go toward materials.  Please pray for her and her children.

UPDATE:  With your help, the Mission Del Rey installed a new roof for this Family  : )
