Gabriela has lived in the house with her family for about a year now. She lives with her husband, and sometimes her children visit. Gabriela remembers when they received the news; the first thing they did was thank God and then celebrate together.

Manuel works every day at a ranch, taking care of the animals, cutting grass, and doing pretty much any type of job they ask him to do. He has been with Gabriela for about two years now.


During the rainy season, they experience leaks through the walls, and the house gets a little flooded. Most of their furniture is getting damaged. They are renting the house for $25 a month, so they can't make changes to improve it. “May the Lord bless you for helping those who are in need."
