Repairs to Hogares Teresa Toda post H. Maria in PR

We hope this letter finds you well. First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication to our organization. Your commitment has played a crucial role in enabling us to make significant progress in the last quarter.

In terms of repairs, we are pleased to inform you that we were able to address some pressing issues. We repaired the toilets, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment for our participants. Additionally, we fixed the program plumbing, which has contributed to better functionality and efficiency within our facilities. Lastly, we successfully repaired the entrance doors, enhancing the security and accessibility of our premises.

However, we would like to bring to your attention that we still require funding and assistance to complete the roof repairs. The roof is an integral part of our infrastructure, and its current condition would compromise the program infrasturcture especially in a severe atmospheric event such as a hurricane. Your continued support in this regard would greatly contribute to the overall safety and well-being of our participants.

We would also need assistance in funding the interior painting. Giving our facilities a fresh coat of paint would not only enhance the aesthetics but also create a welcoming and inspiring environment for our participants. Your generous contribution towards this endeavor would make a significant difference in their overall experience.

Once again, we cannot express enough how grateful we are for your ongoing support. Your dedication and generosity have been instrumental in our progress thus far. We believe that together, we can continue to create a positive impact and provide a nurturing space for the young girls in our program.

Thank you again for your unwavering commitment. We truly appreciate everything you do.

Greetings to all our donors and thank you for making Hogares Teresa Toda a better place for our girls to live.

For the past six months we have been working on preparing the facility to handle emergencies such as natural disasters. We have been upgrading our generators, attending emergency management training, and fixing the water tanks. That part has been completed thanks to donors like you. We are now working to maintain healthy environments for our participants.

Since 2017 our facilities have not been painted. We have been looking for quotes for two months to paint our facilities since it is our intention to provide our participants with a home where they feel safe and where their sense of belonging is stimulated, often denied in their homes of origin. At Hogares Teresa Toda we want our participants to experience a healthy environment.

The concept of healthy environments incorporates basic sanitation, clean and structurally adequate physical spaces, and support networks to achieve healthy and safe psychosocial environments, free of violence (physical, verbal, and emotional abuse). It is for these reasons that Hogares Teresa Toda requests your support to paint the physical plant of our institution that serves as a home for 30 girls who are victims of abuse. Understanding that housing is that essential place for our lives, necessary for the development of individuals and the family that provides security, protection, privacy and contributes to the well-being of each one of the people who inhabit it.

We know that you, our donors, understand our needs and support our efforts to provide our participants with the best place to live and where resilience is not just a nice word but an achievable goal.
