She Gave Me Her Last Two Eggs… Let’s Give Johanna a Home
Juanita (Johanna) gave me the only food she had—two eggs—without hesitation.
She lives in a shack held together by plastic and rusted tin, yet her heart is pure kindness. Together, we can give her what she’s never had: a safe home, dignity, and a future.
Meet Johanna
Johanna is a 67-year-old grandmother living alone in El Salvador. Her “house” is collapsing—plastic walls, rotting wood, a roof that lifts off when storms come. When it rains, her floor floods.
And yet… when I told her I was hungry, she invited me in and cooked me the only food she had left. She even said if I didn’t have a place to sleep, I could take her bed while she slept on the floor.
That’s Johanna. Pure kindness. A true earth angel.
No one this selfless should live in squalor.
Our Goal
At first, we thought we’d build Jaunita (Johanna) a very basic home. But because so many people want to help, we’re doing this right—so she never has to worry again.
Here’s the plan:
A solid brick home (storm-resistant and long-lasting)
Furniture for comfort and dignity
A bathroom with proper plumbing and permits (her first ever)
Protective fence and retaining wall for safety and stability
A micro-business shop built into her home so she can sell rice, beans, and local goods to her neighbors
Fair labor — supporting local workers who help build these homes
Cost Breakdown (Transparency)
Brick home + roof + retaining wall: $14,000
Bathroom + plumbing & permits: $3,000+
Furniture & essentials: $4,000
Small business shop: $6,000
Additional labor allocation: $3,000
Dental Work: $500-$1,000
Total Goal: $31,500
Anything raised after initial amount will go towards further improvements to Johanna’s home, micro-business and future projects like Johanna.
We’ve already allocated a few thousand dollars from general donations, but we need your help to reach the full $15,000 goal to change Johanna’s life forever. ❤️
Every dollar goes directly into Johanna’s new life.
Why This Matters
Juanita didn’t know us. She had no reason to share her food. Yet with the little she had, she gave it freely. That kind of love deserves to be honored.
This isn’t just about one woman—it’s about showing the world that compassion, multiplied by community, can change lives. Together, we’ve already built 300+ homes, launched schools, and lifted thousands of families out of poverty. Johanna’s story is the next miracle.
