Nora and her boys...


Nora and her 5 boys, Oliver, Herber, Jose, Samuel and Ezekial are some of the most special people I have ever met.
They live in a one room cement house in La Limonada and they literally only have a bed.  Today we surprised them by cleaning their house from floor to ceiling, getting rid of their bug infested bed, and bringing them brand new bunk beds, new sheets, and clean blankets.  We spent the morning cleaning, I have never seen so many cockroaches!  We were joking that it felt like a video game, "how many cockroaches can you step on?"  (come on, you have to have fun in what you do!  otherwise, what's they point? :)  The boys were so excited and Oliver was a huge help in cleaning.
In between cleaning we just had a blast playing together.
Nora and the boys now have a table to eat at for the first time.  They have a clean bed to sleep in without lice, fleas or worms.  Tomorrow we're going to surprise them with new pillows. :)

Thank you to our great friends from Missouri, Kelly, Devin, Charlotte, Rhonda, Marsha, and Rick, 
without you and your servants hearts this present for Nora would not have been possible.  You amaze me with how much you're willing to give.
