Family-to-Family (F2F) has come through again with a grant of $800 toward the purchase of a 24cu ft chest freezer. Thank you!
This really changes our capabilities to feed our families. Now, maybe we will look at a big refrigerator, in the spring, pending funding.
Celebrate!
We also had a private F2F sponsor send money so his family could obtain electrical service at their home. They are a single mother with 8 school age kids, living in a 12’ x 40’ trailer, no water, no electricity, no heat, no siding, etc. They currently run an extension cord from the mom’s sister home to theirs, which runs 2 space heaters. We believe we will be able to run electricity within 10 days, due to their sponsor’s huge heart & the generous pricing by a local electrician in Iyanbito (and “negotiations” with Continental Divide Electric Coop.). So they will have heat, lights, stove and all the other goodies that come with modern adaptations.
Our next big project for them is to get a 1,500’ water ditch dug to their home. We have another generous local plumber who is willing to provide lines & labor at a greatly reduced price. We may even be able to get the Navajo Nation to help with some of the main lines to their home.
Onto wrapping, tagging, sorting, bagging and such with our wonderful team of elves, extraordinaire!
Blessings,
Kathy
