18. Hurricane Fiona did some major damage to the home we were
building in San Rafael de Yuma for Maribel and her sister. The
columns and more were not yet completed when it hit.
We are so grateful to
Fernando and
Miguel, our
construction team
managers of one of
our crews for taking
the 7-hour drive to
check on the
situation there.
They arranged
everything for the
continuation of the
project so the girls
will have there home.

19. Helping those who help themselves is one of our favorite this to do.
This single mom ( who wishes to remain anonymous) got her house
to this point before asking for help. We were able to raise the
money for doors, windows, plumbing and electrical so that she could
move in with her family. We are happy to help make a difference!

20. We replaced the roof on a home in San Rafael de
Yuma that was destroyed by Hurricane Fiona.

get married until their home is finished to
live in. We are hoping to raise more for
them in the future.

22. With donations through Dominican Starfish
Foundation, we helped a family receive a
new ceiling in their home. They replaced a
metal roof that was full of holes and leaking
on the family.
They also received donations to completely
repaint and finish the home they have lived
in for many years!! Thanks to kind donors!!

broken leg. He is a former worker of the foundation.
