2 year old Juan Manuel Perez was diagnosed with pnuemonia two weeks ago.
The Perez Family were living in this small trailer in a Penitas Colonia, sharing beds and sleeping on the floor. When Buckner International, a Christian Ministry found out about this family's struggle they wanted to help.
They partnered up with the Texas and Illinois women's missionary union and built up with the Texas and Illinois Women's missionary union and built this new home so that little Juan Manuel could sleep easy.
19 volunteers, 17 of them women between the ages of 43 and 74 arrived Sunday and built the home in no time. By next week they expect to be finished.
San Juana de la Rosa was overcome by emotion when the volunteers gave them the keys to their new home. She says her family will never forget this group of women who built their home with such love.
