Jose and Leydi (pronounced “lady”) were living in a very humble one room home built of rusty sheet metal that measured 8ft x 8 ft. They have tried for 11 years to get the funds together to build a secure home but there has not been steady work for either. Jose works security and Leydi shells peas. Neither have anything beyond an elementary education and thus their prospects for better work are very limited. There were tears of joy the day we celebrated the home with the family. Jose explained that he never thought he would see the day his family had a home such as this.
