Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Description
Mariela's story highlights the challenges she faces due to her limited education but also showcases the immense love and joy she finds in being a mother. At 24 years-old, her son holds a special place in her heart, and his well-being is of utmost importance to her.
The fear she experiences when her son falls ill is understandable, given her limited resources and educational background. Access to healthcare and medical support is crucial, especially for vulnerable families like Mariela's. It's essential for organizations like One Common Thread to continue providing assistance to families in need, ensuring that they have the means to address health concerns and support their children's well-being.
The recent improvements in Mariela's home, including a new roof, new floor, and a new oven range, are significant milestones for her and her family. These upgrades bring tangible benefits, such as improved living conditions and a safer cooking environment. Mariela's appreciation for these improvements reflects the positive impact that One Common Thread's support has had on her life.
This quilt is very large and could fit on a Twin bed but not specifically made for a twin.
