Help The Guatemala Dump Community
Tax deductible
In the heart of Guatemala City is the largest dump in Latin America. More than 13,000 people live and work in and near the city's garbage dump, and nearly 50% of them are children.
Even by other Guatemalans, they are treated as little better than the garbage that shapes their existence, which in turn leads them to believe that they are the refuse of the world.
This past August our Hope's In Style team was able to provide new homes for three families living within the thirteen communities surrounding the Guatemala City garbage dump. These communities are tainted with poverty, abuse and addiction. A majority of the parents of these communities work sunrise to sunset scavenging for scraps, to sell or bring home, within the confines of the garbage dump. Thanks to the generosity of last years attendees and sponsors, these family's were given a safe and sturdy cinderblock home to replace their tin shack.
With it came a new shot at life, a revival of hope, and a new beautiful reality for the families. A reality that will not know the fear of rain entering a home, worrying if a thin door will keep out unwanted guests and having no running water. As well as building the three homes, we were able to help with the construction of a Potter's House-Guatemala's new Community Center. This Community Center will touch the lives of those not able to be part of Potter's House educational programs as well as bring the community together.
With all that being said, this year we would like to invite you to act compassionately as we try to bring hope, through houses, to other deserving families of the Guatemala City garbage dump communities. Each house costs $7,500.
Help us raise $7,500 to help put a family into a new home. Any amount is appreciated.
Please help us celebrate the hope that can happen in Guatemala City. Let's value these scavengers as "Treasures". It starts with you!
Many blessings,
Courtney Quigley and the Hope's In Style team

Potter's House- Guatemala
They have a rich history of turning things around for these "Treasures"—24 years of service to some of the most beautiful and hard-working people in Central America. We share with them the love of God and empower them to turn their lives around—both for themselves and their children
