I am raising funds to support
The Pinzon Family
Hello, my name is Anabel, I am Puerto Rican, I live with my family in the state of Texas. I am a survivor of the Twin Towers, trapped in the rubble and firefighters were able to get me out of the rubble, and a cancer survivor twice. I currently have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. But my symptoms or pain have never stopped me from helping someone in need. If I can do it despite everything, you can also do it for these families who need a roof, a warm home. Help me make a dream come true. Thank you very much in advance for joining me in fulfilling this dream.
Where does your donation go?
The Project
With your contribution, TECHO will be able to give this family a new home. It takes two full days to build the house. The home stands on 12 piles and is raised from the ground to protect from moisture, floods, and pests. The home is made out of prefabricated wood panels, which allows beneficiary families and volunteers to participate in the construction without considerable technical training.
The Impact
TECHO will use all donations raised by the participants in this competition to build them a new home. If this campaign exceeds the fundraising target needed to build houses for the five families listed as beneficiaries, TECHO will use the surplus to support the construction of new homes for other needy families.
