Receiving Father's day Basket

In the picture is Don Ricardo the elderly gentleman we met in Panajachel. He and his wife received one of the stoves we installed. In this picture he is receiving a Father's day basket of food for he and his wife. She isn't in the picture because it is to difficult for her to walk to get to Mayan Families. The baskets usually have enough food to feed a family of 10.
We are sending what we can to provide food for them but it isn't enough to supply them with enough for the entire month. We hope those of you reading this will prayerfully consider helping us, helping them to have nutritious food on a consistent basis. You can go to www.mayanfamilies.org and click on donate. To donate food for this elderly couple, scroll down to the Family Aid box and put in the amount you wish to donate. There is also a box where you can type in their names so that Mayan Families knows who you are wanting to donate for. In the special instructions box you can type in "food for Don Ricardo and Dona Maria. On Mayan Families website will also find the U.S. address and mail donations if you don't want to do it over the internet. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. May all who continue to follow this blog be blessed, as well as their families.

photo re-post

Wanted to re-post this photo. In this photo is the elderly couple, who received one of the stoves while we were in Guatemala. The woman, Dona Maria, cannot see. Her husband, Don Ricardo, goes out every day looking for work. When he gets work, it is usually a hard labor job that does not pay very much. He can not hear very well and his eyesight is fair to poor. When he cannot get work, he has been seen going through the trash in Panajachel, looking for whatever he can find for he and his wife to eat. They have no family to help them. Larry and I have been sending what we can but it isn't enough to provide them with good nutritious food for the whole month. To help this elderly couple have good food for a month the cost would be approximately $75 to $100/month. Please prayfully consider committing to sponsoring this elderly couple for food on an ongoing basis. This is just one couple of the many elderly who need help in Panajachel. Our pray is that we can start with this one couple and hopefully if it is God's will, that there will be such an outpouring of his blessing, we will be able to help others who are of similar circumstances and need. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I pray God's blessing be with you today and always.
