help for our neighbors

PDA PA group with Belinda and Sixto

Last week, our neighbors Belinda and Sixto finally received a team of workers from the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Camp working through UMCOR.  This incredible team was mostly of ladies, and they did a ton of work.  They also built relationships with the homeowners as they joyfully worked on their home.  The team painted all the rooms and even added colorful accent walls.  Another part of the team framed out and trimmed the windows.  It was quite a blessing to observe.   It was nice too that the team was from Pittsburgh, yay home state of PA.  They were a fun team that truly brought hope to Belinda and Sixto.  No one except Belinda and Sixto had worked on the house in months, yet they had been slowly doing the best they could with limited funding.  Belinda told me every morning last week with tears in her eyes how grateful she is for all the work being done.  “There’s not much left to do now,” she says.  Belinda has a strong faith in Jesus, and I could visibly see her hope being restored throughout the week as the team repaired her home.  The day is closer when they will move back in.  Can’t wait to rejoice with them!
