“Shelter is the most basic of necessities, but for many, safe living conditions are in short supply.

“It makes me really happy to see a family who didn’t have a nice home get the keys to a new opportunity in life. Traveling to Guatemala to provide service to these families has been so special to me. It’s hard to understand what these people are going through, unless you get to experience it and I love to meet them and really get to know their story. It’s sad that some of them haven’t always chosen the right path in life, but this house will give them a chance at making their lives better. It will mean a lot to me, but even more to the family we build […]
