Lucy is a farmer and works on her small banana plantation. Usually she works alongside her husband in an area far away from their home, where she sees to the care of the products and her husband is the foreman. Both carry out their work diligently and are some of the most hard-working people in the area. Thanks to this work, they can afford to provide for their four children and were able to overcome when their daughter was abandoned with a baby, taking them in and welcoming them back into their home. In addition to this, their home had to be demolished because it had structural deficiencies and was very unsafe. Now they want to be able to build a new home where their whole family could live safe and sound. For this, they work arduously and ask for our help with some money they can invest in cultivating bananas so they soon will have the necessary means to build their home.

Lucy es agricultora y trabaja en su pequeña chacrita de platanales, a la par labora junto a su esposo en una ascienda alejada de su hogar, donde se ocupa de cuidar los productos agrícolas y su esposo es el capataz. Ambos realizan su trabajo de la mejor manera y son las personas más trabajadoras de su zona.Gracias a este trabajo, puede solventar los gastos de sus 4 hijos, demás tuvo que superar un problema con su hija, cuando esta sufrió un desengaño y fue abandonada con un niño en los brazos, a quien ayudó y acogió nuevamente en su hogar. Sumado a esto, su casa tuvo que ser derrumbada ya que las estructuras tenían deficiencias y era muy insegura, ahora desea poder construir su casa nuevamente, donde puedan vivir toda su familia de manera segura.Para ello trabaja muy duramente y desea que le podamos ayudar con una suma de dinero para que pueda invertir en cultivos de plátano, y prontamente conseguir juntar lo necesario para la construcción de su vivienda.
