Support Mari's Mother: Home Restoration

Doña Maria was always the pillar of her family. Her home, once filled with the memories and laughter of her children, now stands quiet. One child has passed away, and the other abandoned her. The only daughter she has left doesn't have the money to repair her neglected house. That house is her sanctuary, the home she fought for. However, the years and unexpected hardships have left their mark. The roof urgently needs repairs, a window stubbornly refuses to close properly, and the garden, once her pride, now requires more care than she can manage alone.

Despite her strong spirit, Doña Maria has begun to feel overwhelmed. Watching her home slowly deteriorate causes her deep sadness. Her children are no longer with her; only her five dogs keep her company. There is no other family to offer the practical help she now so desperately needs. This is no joke – that's her kitchen, where she prepares her food, if the rain permits.

But in that house, she is happy. Her only daughter cannot help her; she also needs assistance, but the most important help is for Doña Maria. Her daughter had an idea. Moved by her mother's situation, she decided to share her story. She created a small campaign, showing photographs of Doña Maria's home and explaining the urgency of the repairs.

We need that invaluable support that reminds her she is not alone. We want her to have a better Christmas. She needs support for her courage; she needs a helping hand to keep her space safe and full of love. Unity and generosity can make an enormous difference in the life of someone who needs it... and help her forget the pain of her son's abandonment and the death of her daughter. She is supported by the only ones she trusts: God and the generosity of people.
