New Home Construction

Homes for the homeless

Talk to Don DeHart and he will share with you that one of the greatest joys of his life is to present the keys of a new home to a homeless family.

So often the families are living under a tree, sleeping in a marketplace at night, or have been scattered about the city sleeping in homes of relatives. Some are patients who have come to the FHL 24-hour emergency medical clinic for burns, who have just lost everything in the burning of their home. To keep their families together under one roof, in a dry place they can call home, where they know no one can kick them out or make them move? The expressions on the faces of those families accepting the keys lasts in your heart forever.

This home was financed by The Pilgrim Lutheran Church of Indianapolis, Indiana. It was built, dedicated to the Lord and given free of charge to a homeless family all in August 1998.

Most Haitians can come up with a little land, they have inherited it as a part of their parent's land, but will never be able to put together the money to build. Their land plus volunteer labor plus your gifts for materials = home. A nice concrete block home with concrete floor, wood trusses and corrugated metal roof. These are great group projects, you can provide a home for $6,000 U.S.D

When you build a home on the side of a mountain in Haiti, it is a real challenge finding an angle to get a photo.

For Haiti with Love, through generous donations, dedicated four homes in 1998.
