Julia and Lorenzo desperately need a house
Donation protected
Larry here - and I am reaching out to you on behalf of a dear couple: Julia and Lorenzo, who live in Honduras.
As many of you may know, Gayle and I met them (and I performed their wedding ceremony) while serving as missionaries in Honduras back in 2009- 2010.
Julia was our trusted translator while we lived there and continues to spread the Love of God to all she meets. We talk with her weekly to encourage her to follow her Savior and continue to proclaim His message of Grace and Love to all.
Their current situation:
- Juila's family disowned her due to her faith in Jesus, so there is no family to rely on.
- Because of their age and previous injuries, they are denied jobs and scavenge what others discard to survive.
- Lately their "home" (a small wooden shack no larger than your bedroom) by a river - has been determined unsafe and condemmed. They had to move out of it and are currently homeless.
If you have read this far, we simply ask you to pray and ask the Lord’s guidance as to whether He wants you to be part of this wonderful financial blessing to them. I know He will provide for them, so the only question is will you be honored to be a part of it. I hope so.
..
What is needed:
- They need a house on a safe site: I would like to bless them with a small but sound house that will have a bedroom, bathroom, living room; and a kitchen area with simple appliances and any needed furniture. This would be extravagant compared to what they have now!
- They need a way to provide for themselves: In Honduras many neighborhoods have a small “pulperia” (which is a tiny store) - at the front or side of their house. These little stores stock a small variety of things like water, soda, eggs, meat, and other common grocery items. Julia has expressed interest in doing this. We could easily do this by providing a few extra refrigerators and stocking the shelves so they can run their own little business. This would take a small portion of the funds to accomplish -but be a huge economic advantage for them.
I can already see the pure Joy in their eyes to see the Lord has answered their prayer by touching your heart for assistance: providing something far above what they now have or could ever hope for. That is what He does!
The goal: $20,000
Every penny you give will go directly to this project for them! I will even pay any credit-card fees for contributions made via this app. So, if you donate $100, $100 they will get!
I will personally make sure all money contributed goes directly to this project: A house, furnishings, and a little Pulperia in it,
How you can contribute:
- Give on this app
- Zelle the money to me using my phone number (email or msg me for it)
- Paypal to me (as a friend) to my gmail account: "larryoslund"
- Send a check made out to our non-profit: Harvesting Hearts for Christ Honduras - to me at 65 Myrtle Bank Rd, Hilton Head Island, SC 29926
I will deposit all donations into this NC non-profit Corp - and then disburse the funds personally only for them and this housing project.
Final Note: I am personally overseeing this project with the help of trusted contact in Honduras. If necessary, I will travel (on my own dime) to Honduras to see it completed. If anyone wishes to join me, please reach out to me and I will include you in my plans.
Blessings to you and your family
