Shelter from the rain. . .

Carlos and Judith have four children in the family (Judith, 6 years old; Jessica, 3 years of age; Miguel Angel, 8 years old and Jonathan, 7 years of age). Carlos makes about $ 45 a week as a bricklayer, when there is work. Mrs. Vasquez says, “I have asked to have someone help me, as our former house was horrible: the roof was cardboard that had rotted through, but we just never have enough money to start a new house. We only have enough to eat and to send the kids to school. I sell flowers twice a year, on Valentine’s Day and on Mothers’ Day, that helps some. But then I got sick, and the doctor gave me complete bed rest, which I can’t really do. . .thank you for helping me.”
