A stitch and a prayer is all that holds together Francisca Reyes’ home

	Marisela Reyes, 4, lives in a shack with a dirt floor in Nicaragua. The floor turns to mud during the frequent rainstorms.

“I feel sad because I know they are afraid, and I know they will get sick,” Francisca Reyes’ says of her two young daughters. They are terrified by the frequent thunderstorms that shake and soak every bit of their plastic-sheet-and-stick, stitched-together shack in Nicaragua. Francisca has no means to improve her living conditions and can only comfort and protect her children with prayer.

But you can help.

God has blessed us with an amazing chance to lift Francisca and families like hers out of their squalid living conditions. A few generous partners of Food For The Poor have offered to match any gift for housing we receive to build homes in Nicaragua, Honduras and Jamaica. This means that every gift you give to build a home in these countries will be matched dollar-for-dollar!

A safe and secure home is a blessed gift for mothers like Francisca, who struggle with overwhelming circumstances every day When a new home is built for a family, the transformation is incredible. They go from living without proper sanitation facilities, from constantly having to dry out their rain-drenched belongings, and from living under plastic and twigs stitched together; to living under a solid roof in a safe and secure home.

Through this special matching gift opportunity for housing you have the power to change lives forever and to answer prayers from desperate mothers like Francisca.

When you send your gift today, it will be matched dollar-for-dollar to help twice as many. Please send your most generous gift today.

“My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest…” (Isaiah 32:18, niv)
