Miguel and Manuel need a dry place to store their clothes

You may recognize dear brothers, Miguel and Manuel, who are part of our Elderly Care Program.

They have recently requested a wardrobe to keep their clothes dry and safe. The rainy season is quickly approaching, we've already had several strong rains, and soon Pana will be in the midst of daily rain showers. For many of our families their homes are acceptable, but often leak during heavy rain storms. Miguel and Manuel are very thankful for their small room that keeps them mostly dry and warm. But it's nearly impossible to prevent all leaks during the rainy season and we're concerned for Miguel and Manuel's belongings. Right now they have no where to keep their clothes and if their home does spring a leak, everything will easily get wet.

The brothers are requesting a wardrobe or hope chest to guard their clothing and belongings and keep them dry during the rainy season. An enclosed wardrobe costs $170 and a hand-carved wooden hope chest costs $108. If you would like to make a donation for these brothers, please go to Donate Now and scroll down.  Enter your donation in the "Other $" box.  In the "Details" box, write "A25 Wardrobe or Hope Chest".

Thank you so much for caring for our elderly! If you have any questions feel free to contact us at familyaid@mayanfamilies.org

Maria Felipe needs a water filter

We've recently found out that Maria Felipe needs a water filter.  For just $63 you could gift Maria with a brand new water filter, which will give her fresh, clean water for at least a year and a half.  It is customary here for the elderly to drink coffee in the morning and in the afternoon.  Maria cannot afford to buy pure bottled water, it is too expensive.  So, she tries to boil the water to purify it, but her health is frail and she becomes ill easily.  Gifting her with a water filter will help keep Maria healthy and allow her to enjoy many cups of coffee without risk of getting parasites or other water-borne diseases!

If you would like to help Maria Felipe, please go to Donate Now and scroll down.  Enter your donation in the "Other $" box.  In the "Details" box, write "A30 Filter". Thank you so much!
