Julio Cesar & Vanessa

Sponsor: Destiny Center Church, Rio Rancho, NM

Another home sponsored by Destiny Center in New Mexico, this is a sweet young family with a unique story.

Julio Cesar lost everything he had a couple years ago.  He was a welder, and had an accident with the welding machine that left him with 3rd degree burns all over his body.  He spent several months in a hospital and thought at one point he was going to die.

In the accident, they lost everything the had.  All of their belongings were destroyed in the fire.

They live together with Juilio's father in a small tin house.  Today, they live in a new block home, complete with running water to a new outdoor sink and new bathroom.

In addition to the new home, Destiny Center has agreed to help Julio start a new welding business.  Since his accident, he has been limited to finding daily work of odd jobs and working in the fields.  With a new welding machine and shop, he should be able to continue doing not only what he loves, but what he is best at.

Julio and Vanessa have a 2 year old son, and are also expecting a new baby in December.
