This project was originally funded for a family that had been separated due to finances. The owners of the home (live there on the first floor) Jorge and his father decided they wanted to help their their friend (Father and 6 children) by building a 2nd story on the house with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom so they'd have a place to live. Since the construction started, plans changed for the family (now in the U.S.), so Heart 4 Cabo is seeking God to see how He will fill these rooms. This is the biggest house our partners in Cabo have ever built and it’s being built on the weekends only by our construction crew who lives in the home below. The reason they are building this on the weekends only is because, being that’s ultimately their property, they are not charging for labor so they have to work on their regular job during the week which only gives them free time on the weekends. If you’ve been following the progress you’ll remember that we are building it on top of our construction crews house and we also previously funded their roof build out. In the pictures below you will see some of the progression from where it was to where we are now. We can’t wait for it to be completed so we can see a family living secure and together.

Emmanuel cares for the rabbits at the Fish House where we stayed on our last trip to Haiti. In one of the photos is his wife with our partner Christina Surber of Supply and Multiply. Their old house is cracking and leaning really bad and it’s starting to fall, so now they are using pieces of wood to prop it up. They have three kids. Progress is being made on the new home as of mid July.

Not until we met her did we realize how much need they were in. Will let the video do most of the explaining but we are blessed to announce a new Hearts for the Family Sponsorship thanks to One Heart 2 Homes! As you will see in the video she is very grateful. We were also able to help her acquire metal sheets to repair her failing roof and OSB plywood to fix some walls...her teenage sons (one not pictured) were able to complete the work.

On Sylvia's first shopping trip with her family, she was awesome in following our instructions to calculate all the items she was putting in the basket. At the register she was only two pesos over her allotted amount!

This family is feeling beyond blessed for our sponsors with beautiful hearts like yours that continue to allow Gods heart to shine through yours♥️

Nerland received the keys to her newly built home at the end of May. Many hands assisted in the construction, including the "World Race" team that was in Haiti as part of their summer trips! One of the pictures are of Gary and the mom of the home build and the builder. The Little boy you see in the picture is helping get water up the mountain and jugs to mix cement. They walk a very long way to get water we were blessed to have the truck with us and it was about a 10 minute drive to fill up the jugs with water. Water weighs 8 pounds a gallon, so a 5 gallon jug weighs 40 pounds. The Haitian builders work very hard and we appreciate all that they do to help families have new safe homes.

Meet Reyna. She is a single mother of 3 who came out of a physically abusive marriage and has been through a lot since. Shortly after Hurricane Odile her son was hit by a car and suffers a little brain damage. During Tropical Storm Lidia they lost their entire wood home. In the photos you can see what remains of it. They lost everything including most personal items. What wasn’t taken by the storm was taken by robbers. She has since been blessed with a refrigerator, stove and the ability to host community events to help her neighbors.
