Sponsor a Home - $4,800 per Home

In this season where it may not be safe to travel, your church can still build a cinder-block home for a family living in a cardboard house. A gift of $4,800 will provide all the materials in addition to the extra labor to construct a home for one of our local families. Sponsoring a home not only transforms the life of a family, but also provides critical income to our maestros who have very little work in this season.

For churches or groups who sponsor a home but are not able to travel in-person, we will send you photos of the project in-progress as well as a photo of the family with their new home.
