Help us buy 3 beds & mattresses, 3 blankets, 3 sheet sets & 5 pillows for a family in need living in Mexico!
Bay of Plenty, Tauranga City
Break Free Charitable Trust is raising $2,000 to buy beds, blankets, fitted sheets, pillows & pillow slips for a Mexican family living in the colonias of Tijuana. 79 year old grandparents Andrea & Carlos are looking after their 2 grandkids Daniela (13) and Andrek (16). Andrek has a disability and spends his time in a wheelchair. They desperately need housing, and the family is having a basic home built for them by a Volunteer Build team from New Zealand starting September 30th 2024. The cost of building materials for each house is covered by the building team and other sponsors and once finished we would like to buy enough beds and linen for the family (budget $2,000). If we have any money left over we will buy other household items they need. Thanks so much for helping us give a family beds to sleep in!
$6 will buy a pillow
$10 will buy 2 pillowcases
$20 will buy a blanket for a bed
$20 will buy sheets for a bed
$200 plus will buy a bed frame
$200 plus will buy a mattress
The Trust was set up to provide relief of poverty, hunger and sickness by providing food, clothing & shelter to the poor. It also provides education and training to the public and schools about issues of world poverty and how to alleviate those issues.
3 beds, 3 mattresses, 3 blankets, 3 sheet sets, 5 pillows and any other house hold items that are needed.
Thank you so much for your generosity - here's how we spent the funds! 17 October 2024
2 weeks ago we handed over the keys to Carlos, Andrea, Andrek's and Daniela's new home! With the funds raised from this Give A Little campaign we were able to purchase a new washing machine (Andrea's most pressing need as the current machine no longer spun); a double bed frame and mattress for Carlos and Andrea; a new mattress for Daniele (her current bed base is sturdy and in good condition), a new stove (their old stove barely worked), new bedding (sheets, blankets, pillows, pillowcases, some floor mats, curtains, interior paint and a couple of pots of flowers to make the home feel more like a home! They loved their new home and the fitout items you have helped fund. Thank you so much for blessing this family. They will be moving in as soon as power is connected (needed for Andrek's hospital bed and the washing machine).
Thank you so much for your donation towards the house fitout - its so appreciated!
