belinda’s house- almost finished

Our neighbors’ house is almost finished!  They are hoping to have their FEMA trailer taken away next Wednesday, March 31st.  We will look forward to celebrating with them!  It is going to be awesome to see their house from the street, which is normally hidden behind the trailer.  Volunteers are putting a bunch of finishing touches on the house- including fixing the threshold into the front door, hanging numbers on the house, finishing the closets, cleaning up the backyard, etc.  Sixto reported carpet was put in one of the main rooms, and they also purchased more laminate floor with their income tax return money.  Belinda and Sixto are the most self-sufficient people we have seen in Galveston.  They are working hard to repair their home by whatever means they have and only take help when they need it.  God bless them too- they are planning on moving Belinda’s mother who has Alzheimers back into the house with them when it is completed.  Even though her mother has stayed in a nursing home the past year due to illness and no room in the FEMA trailer, Belinda will rejoice to have her home.  What amazing dedication and love to take on being primary caregivers again as soon as they return to their home.  Belinda and Sixto are hoping to finish the flooring this week… I’ll keep you posted as soon as I hear anything!
