Jeff
Jeff lives with his mother and sister in a very small one room rented home. Jeff’s mother sells charcoal and was able to use this money to repair her roof after negotiating forgiveness of rent for one year in exchange. Our November team will assist her to paint the inside of her home and repair her table. Donations to fully-fund repairs to Jeff's home have been received. See the before & after photos below.
