 Samaritan Project Update for La Puente **

Concepcion Ramirez is married and is 77 years old. She makes sleeping mats and her husband does field work; together they earn about $58 a month. They had been unable to improve the poor housing that they lived in. Her comments “Thank you, this is a great gift to my husband and myself. We just did not have the ability to be able to build a tin roof for our home. It is a wonderful project that Servant Ministries has, no one else in the area is showing concern this way to the poor.”

Coronado Lopez is 72 years old and married. They have one child that still lives with them because he is a special need son that cannot hear or speak and unable to physically work. Together they earn about $40 a month. Her comments “Thanks to Servant Ministries for having the desire to help those in need.
