Thanks for giving hope . . .

For approximately $100, you can give poor families the means to earn a living. The following are just some examples of what the generosity of CRF donors has accomplished:

"I don't have words to thank you enough for the help you have given me and my children so that we could start this small business selling clothes. I have 2 children and a nephew in my care who are hoping for your prayers. May God bless you in a great way."-Maria Mejia

" I am 56 years old and have 2 children. I work in my home sewing clothes. My oldest daughter became very ill 3 years ago with back problems leaving her left arm debilitated. My husband and I were both ill several months in 2005. A sewing machine will help me to continue working. May God bless you! Your sister in Christ." -Concepcion Conrado

"Thank you for your love in Christ in helping me to buy a horse which I will use to transport goods. You have been used as an instrument of God and I desire for you open heavens over your house and your church so that you will never lack any of the blessings of God." -Alvaro Saenz

"Thank you for helping me with this small bicycle repair business which will be very helpful to me. I have not been able to work for a year, because an accident caused my right leg to be amputated. May God give you a long life so that you can continue helping others." -Pablo Caceres

"I thank you for your help in starting my small business of selling various food articles. I am a single mother with 5 children and very poor. May the Lord Jesus Christ be with you always." -Fabiola Robelo

"I wish to express my deepest gratitude for your great heart of goodness toward this humble person. You cannot imagine the great emotional impact of this great blessing. I didn't know whether to cry, laugh, jump or run for joy for at this time I was totally broken econo mically. But thanks to God and you, I have reactivated my small business hoping that God will prosper me."-Oscar Blanco
