Your gift for housing will transform a family's despair into hope Throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, a lack of decent housing plagues thousands of families. Shacks made of scraps of wood, metal or cardboard offer little protection from rodents, insects and the elements. Families living in these conditions have little hope of being able to afford a decent home. In response to the overwhelming need for housing, Food For The Poor has set a goal of building 5,000 homes in 2005 for our poorest brothers and sisters. We are calling this project 5,000 Miracles. To make 5,000 Miracles a reality, we need your help. We're praying that you'll be a part of 5,000 Miracles. Read more Help now!
