Home Restored After Major Storm

Seven-year-old, Maya, and her family lost their home when a category-4 typhoon hit the island of Guam. “I was crying because our house was destroyed,” shared Maya.

Maya’s mom, Jessleen, works as a teacher’s aide. She makes just enough for daily expenses. There was no way she could afford to repair their damaged home. They were living in a vacant house next door.

“I feel sorry to my children because they don’t sleep good. They feel really hot at night. And also, mosquito,” said Jessleen. “I really lost hope because I think with everything I lost, it’s gonna be hard because it is only me working. I don’t have even enough.”

Maya even asked the Lord for help. “I prayed to God that we have our home fixed. Please help us to live in there,” said Maya.

Operation Blessing soon repaired and rebuilt Maya’s damaged house. Now, the whole family has been able to move back in. Then, with help from a local pastor at an Operation Blessing partner church, Jessleen prayed to be a Christian.

“My kids are really happy too to see their house rebuild. And it is better than before. Now my kids can sleep good,” Jessleen. “I thank God He answered my prayer. And we have a new home. Thank you, Operation Blessing,” said the family.
