Our goal is to give Lesly Viviana Culajay Larios (7) and her family of Guatemala City, Guatemala the following gifts: a bunk bed for Lesly and her siblings, a bed for Lesly’s mother, a wardrobe closet, a small table top stove, and bed linens. We aim to raise $500. All donations are 100% US Tax Deductible.
MATCHING CHALLENGE: Thanks to longtime Aura’s House donor Steven Krumholz, as of October 12, 2008 all donations made to this project will now be doubled up to his matching amount of $150. Donate today to make double the difference. Visit this project.
