Jeanette and her four children moved to a new community for a better life. Here she could live with her brother, a respected father figure in her life. Together they lived in a house that was little more than a single room with a lean-to on the side. 

Life as she knew it was shaken when her brother passed away. Piece by piece, her hope crumbled. Food was scarce, tragedies continued to strike one after another, and the grief was heavy. Security and proper shelter for her family were growing concerns. The hope she had when arriving in her new community was now a thing of the past.

But things changed when a home was built.

Through each step of the build, Jeanette’s hope was being built too. With every brick laid, every window set in place, and every piece of zinc roofing secured, the reality was solidified in her heart that this was her home. Jeanette says that this process reassured her that God still sees her and cares for her. 

Today, Jeanette is the proud owner of a safe place to call home that is big enough for her family. For her, this house is so much more than four walls and a roof. Thank you, your generosity is changing the world, one life at a time.
