It’s not often that one gets to see immediate results of their donations or knows that all of the money received goes directly to those who need it the most. For $800 we bought over 1,000 pounds of food for 125 families. That averages out to be $6 for each goodie bag. Thanks, Kris, for figuring that one out for me. 🙂 No overhead costs, no administrative costs…all the money goes directly to these lovely families of Los Ramos.
On Saturday, Ron and I walked…and sometimes climbed, scooted, and tramped over boulders to get into Los Ramos to help distribute the food bags to each family. See my earlier post.
When we arrived, Ever’s family was busy scooping rice, pouring cooking oil into small plastic bags, and packing the bags for 125 families living in Los Ramos. Landslides destroyed their community.
“Say Pizza,” I say as I snap a photo. “Pizza? Where’s the pizza?” they all laugh.
Ever’s uncle has the slippery job of scooping the cooking oil and pouring it into plastic bags.
Ever’s mother organizes all the bags, and says “Hello world. Thank you for everything.”
