Build A Home for a Needy Family
You can build a home shelter for a family for only $650.00. Many people in Nicaragua are homeless or live with relatives. It is not uncommon to see 12 or more people living in a space not much larger than a garden shed. The gift of a home brings life to those who desperately need your help. For more information on building a home click here. To sponsor a home please click contact us. Any amount you can send will be directed to the building projects. All donations are tax deductible.
Medical Donations
For the upcoming Mission we will prepare and distribute hygiene/healthcare products to families as we distribute the much needed rice and beans door-to-door. We believe that one of the best ways to establish a preventive healthcare program in a region of the world without one is to assist in providing some very basic items which, in turn, will assist in stopping the spread of disease and illness.
We would ask your assistance in providing the following items and bring them to our worksite on Sharron Avenue just south of the City of Plattsburgh (past Kinney Drugs, the first builidng on the left) on Wednesdays between 10am and Noon.
