ONE YEAR LATER:
Last summer, with the help of beautiful donors, we we able to get so much work done that made a big impact on Pablo's life life.
-cleaned and disinfected his current room while the new room is being built
-organized a closet system to his current room
-added new mattress and clean bedding to his current room
-added better electricity to his current room
-added portable AC unit to current room
-ordered a new door and windows for new room
-bought material to complete final wall of new room and add roof

This is the final push to finish his new room. The goal is to then clean the old room and find Pablo live in help or a renter to chip in food money for him. Since he cannot work, he relies on a few places in town to give him 1 meal a day.

The remaining $1000 USD will be used to finance the electrical to make sure he stays safe and cool for summer and to complete the new room.

Pablo's Place

Pablo lives in very rough conditions in a neighborhood outside of Todos Santos. After his stroke 5 years ago, he hasn't been able to work on painting cars. His step sister has interceded his government pay checks and he has no family around. He has lost his speech and mobility in his right hand. 

His survival depends on the charity of good people- my friend, Chanelle, being one. When she took me to see the dirty and old mattress he sleeps on in a room pungent with mice urine, I cried. "If this were my dad or grandpa...I wouldn't stand for it. How can we allow him to live like this?" she asked. 

For a couple of weeks, Chanelle, has called to the local community for help and much has been improved. But, with hurricane season  and sweltering heat around the corner, there is so much more that needs doing. 

This campaign is to improve Pablo's living conditions. Funding will provide materials and labor for: 

  • install adequate and safe electrical system
  • add hot water and plumbing in kitchen 
  • reinforce kitchen beams so they don't collapse
  • cover plywood/particle board of Pablo's room with water resistant material
  • patch up roof holes
  • obtain mosquito netting
  • cement to add 4th wall and roof to move Pablo into a more secure space eventually
  • installation of windows for ventilation

Any level of donation would be helpful. There are so many people who live in such harsh conditions. Our goal is to start with Pablo- help our neighbor have a decent home he feels good and safe in. 

Thank you!
