I have lived in the neighborhood El Arroyo for seven years now. Few days ago, a landslide took place around my block. Many houses were destroyed and the authorities requested me and my family to leave. We had to leave as soon as they asked us to; we had to take out all our belongings at 1:00 a.m. and we had to sleep on the street that night. The following day, we moved into another house located in the same neighborhood, we left our things there and sleep in an improvised shelter with many more people, while the relocation problem is solved.
Thank God we have received many blessings. I want to thank CDA (Word & Deed's partner) for being with us during these hard times, for all your help and support and for all the assistance they have provided us with. At this moment, thank God, my family and I are very good and we are closer than ever as a family!
I never thought we would receive so much support and solidarity. To me, it is very rewarding to know that my family and I are not alone.
On behalf of my family, I want to thank you with all my heart!
MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU!
