The Gift of a HOME

Our neighbor, Ernest, the one that I talk about all the time and is the one that works his butt off with a BIG smile really needs our help. I think it is extremely important that we not only help the Children of Karim but we help our neighbors. When our neighbors are happy, we are all HAPPY and I feel safe staying here because they will protect us. Ernest is building his family a home with the money that I am paying him. One block of concrete costs $1. Every time I pay him he buys another block for $1. So far he has built one room with 400 blocks. A few more rooms and he will have a HOME! He does all the work himself. He does not smoke and he does not drink. ALL his money goes to feeding his wife and son, Ellie. Also, his son Ellie, is old enough to go to school but has no sponsor. It costs $850 for a child to go to school. This is for tuition, uniforms, morning snack & lunch, bus ride. They get alot for the money. It would be very easy for him to just jump on the bus with the Karim Children as he is our neighbor. So, as you can see, every dollar MATTERS. Not everyone can give BIG but everyone can give small with a BIG Heart! So, how many blocks of concrete for a $1 can you buy today so Ernest and his family can have a home??? And who doesn't want to help a little boy get an Education? If you are interested in helping, PLEASE, email me, message me, or post on my wall under this blog post. Every donation of $25 or more will receive a tax receipt if you wish . Just go to bridgesofhope.ca ; go to Donations and in your comment box PLEASE put Tanzania/Karim Project. Remember every $1 matters here, so again I ask "HOW MANY BLOCKS CAN YOU BUY TODAY" to help a family have a home?? :)
