Don Jose - help him recover from Eaton Fires

Don Jose and his family lost everything in the Eaton fires. He and his nephews lost their family homes…yes, multiple homes, and everything they need to sustain their livelihood. Don Jose also lost both of his trucks in the fires. He is a SUPER handyman…it’s how he provides for himself. He needs your prayers and anything that will help him get back on his feet.

Don Jose helped me with my home when I was desperate for someone I could trust. He helped me in extraordinary ways beyond what any handyman would do. He treated me like I was his daughter…making sure I didn’t worry because I couldn't take care of my home from another state.

When I checked in on him after the fires, I was relieved to see his smiling face. I asked him how he was doing…and he answered, “Feo pero contento” (Ugly but content). In Spanish, it is hilarious, but in reality, his response shows his humility and his positivity. He is a good man at his core.

Thank you for your prayers and support. Please see his handiwork photos…Don Jose does beautiful work! Help him get back on his feet because he is needed to help rebuild his community.

Don José y su familia perdieron todo en los incendios de Eaton (Altadena, CA). Él y sus sobrinos perdieron sus casas….sí, CASAS, todos sus hogares y todo lo que necesitan para ganar sus vidas. Don José también perdió sus dos camionetas. Don José es un SUPER trabajador de mantenimiento. Así es como él se gana su vida. Él necesita sus oraciones y cualquier cosa que le ayude a recuperarse.

Don José me ayudó con mi casa cuando estaba desesperada por alguien en quien pudiera confiar. Me ayudó de maneras extraordinarias, y con mucho más cuidado de lo que haría cualquier trabajador. Me trató como si fuera su hija….asegurándose de que no me preocupara de que yo no podía hacer desde otro estado.

Cuando lo llamé después de los incendios, me dio mucha alegría en verlo sonriéndose. Le pregunté cómo estaba…y me respondió, “Feo, pero contento.” Su respuesta aunque chistoso en realidad muestra su humilidad y su positivismo. Don José es un buen hombre de corazón.

Gracias por sus oraciones y su apoyo. Por favor vea fotos de sus trabajos. Don José hace trabajos hermosos! Ayúdenlo a recurperarse porque tendrá muchas solicitudes por sus trabajo cuando ya se necesita reconstruir su comunidad.
