Update on rebuilding

After a long trip to Chile when the plane from Seattle was delayed for one hour because of a storm and the plane from Atlanta Georgia had to make an emergency landing in Orlando Florida and delayed them atleast four more hours they arrived in Concepcion late in the evening of May 30th.

The good news is that the roof did not have to be replaced and someone rewired her house for free. They took $4000 down with them and have spent $2900 of it and were able to buy the refrigerator, stove and clothes washer as well as many of the building materials. They still do have to get the flooring and paint and other things. Which I am estimating will use up the rest of the $4000.00 if not a little more.

What is left is the following:

Futon/sofa $286.71
Queen Bed $361.92
Twin bed set $266.67
Kitchen cabinets $561.90

This comes to $1482.20 or just under $1500.00. So our goal has changed to $5500.00
Some money is still trickling in and we appreciate so much all that has been donated so far. If you wanted to donate but felt it was too late we could still use help for the furnishings that still need to be purchased. Thank you so much!
