We are from Honduras; Luis came to Miami in 1983, and I arrived in 1991. We came here to look for the “American Dream”. Luis is a painter and I work in a factory. We like to go to the beach, to movies, and to the playground with our children, Kevin, Chelsea and Kimberly; we also like to have cookouts. We are members of San Juan Bosco Catholic Church. Once we went to Chicago for my niece’s quinceañera (fifteenth birthday party); we were emotional at having finally arrived and excited to see our family. The same day, a huge snow fell and we played in the snow and celebrated the quinceañera of our dear niece.

There are many good things to speak of in this world and one of these things is Habitat for Humanity. It is a divine creation of the Lord to help so many people in the world. With the goal of helping people like us buy a home, Habitat gives happiness to many families.  From our hearts we say: continue helping more people. We pray that God our Lord will give each and every one of you and your families the strength, health and courage to help more fellow neighbors. In the name of our family and before God, we give thanks for helping us obtain the “American Dream”… our home! God bless America and God bless Habitat for Humanity.
