Hello friends and family!
I'm here to tell Mary's story in hope that we can all help her rebuild her home.
Mary has a husband and 9 children. Her oldest daughter is 19 and her youngest son is 1. Mary is a massage therapist and her husband is a tuk tuk driver here in San Pedro. But due to Covid, Mary hardly has clients and her husbands work has been cut in half due to the rules of town regarding the tuk tuk drivers and how many days they are allowed to work.. A few months ago the municipality told Mary and her husband Luciano that they need to tear their house down in order to widen the road. They were given no money in exchange for them losing a home they're family has lived in for 50 years. It was a one bedroom and the 11 of them all slept and co-existed in this space. It truly breaks my heart to see a family that I know and love struggle so much during this time. They have already started to rebuild but have completely ran out of funds to finish the home. There is no flooring, no doors, no roof, no windows, no bathroom, no electricity, just walls.. And no money to continue paying the construction workers.. Mary was one of my first friends here in San Pedro and her children are my sons best friends. Mary did not ask me to start this gofundme for her. But I know that theres so many people out the that would love to help a local family who is in such need. From the bottom of my heart, please help me help her and her beautiful family! Thank you thank you!
