Help Me Build Homes For the Improvished

Hi Friends and loved ones!

In July I'm planning to get involved as a Habitat for Humanity volunteer in Bangalore, India. I'm humbly asking for your donations to support this effort which will provide a HOME for a family living in dilapidated housing.

Many of you know that I have a flair for seeking adventure and learning about new cultures. This time I wanted to do something that could sustainably change lives. In Bangalore, I'll be building homes with a team of other volunteers for 15 days. Volunteering for Habitat for Humanity costs roughly about three thousand dollars. The volunteer program cost helps to further Habitat's housebuilding work by supporting program coordination and local construction. Donations beyond the volunteer costs are further directed to other Habitat Humanity projects around the world.

Habitat India efforts help individuals such as Malan Baiker.
Malan Baiker lived near a jungle in a house without a toilet. She had to walk 20 minutes to get water. Worse still, there wasn't a medical facility, public transportation, or a doctor who traveled that far to see patients. "My son got ill, and he died because we couldn't take him to a doctor in time." Malan said. Now she lives in a Habitat home in a more accessible area, and she has more than doubled her income. With her home-based tailoring business, she brings in 1,000 rupees (US$20) a month. "What I love most about my new home is that I have my own business and I can work whenever I want."




Your support builds more homes, creates resource centers, educates families, and advances HH projects to build sustainable communities.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read about this project! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me via Facebook, email, or through the Gofundme page.

While I am putting forth my resources towards this project, I hope you'll be able to share the joy of making a contribution with a big impact.

Warm Regards,
Patricia
