House number 17 was built for Oralia Vazquez, a 41 year old woman who lives alone with her 20 year old son. Her son works as a bricklayer, making about $ 60 for a forty hour week. Ms. Vazquez said, “This house is the best thing that has ever happened to me. My son has tried and tried to save some money to build us a small place, but he never could, so this is like a gift from heaven. Please tell those who gave us this house that I will pray for them each and every day; and even though I don’t know them, I offer them the largest hug I can give.” (The dog looks fiercer than it is. Oralia claims that the dog is a coward, "but I like him all the same," she says).
