I hear about people built house for poor family would you help built house?

Answer 1

Sure, why not.

Answer 2

Nope.

About 5 years ago I was losing my house. I'd re-done it when we moved in...then another six months rebuilding after a house fire awhile later.

I'd been a stay-at-home mom who'd rebuilt my own houses and others for money on the side that my abuser collected so I was worth nothing.

Poor, 3 SMALL kids, couldn't keep a job, ex wouldn't pay child support and THAT'S why I was losing a 90k house that I only owed 7k on...court was taking too slow to collect then, when they did, they did not get a lump sum, they got a small sum each month and we were going to live under a bridge.

I called Habitat for Humanity. I've built houses for years. I'm female but I can run electrical, hang sheetrock, lay ceramic tile, plumbing, painting (including fancy like marbling and the like), wallpaper, you name it...

They required that I have a job paying about 30k a year that I'd maintained for about 3+ years to qualify...which I did not. My credit had to be good...which my ex made sure it was not. Also, I had to be able to dedicate about 20 hours per week to work on someone else's house WHILE I worked on my own as well.

While breast feeding.

And working 70 hours per week for pennies.

I am worth 150 dollars per month disability per month for the rest of my life...because my ABUSER got all of the work I did put on a schedule C in his name and he died a year ago.

Social Security wouldn't even listen to me.

Reckon I can live on 150 a month for the rest of my life?

Now I am remarried. I still rebuild houses.

I'll never help rebuild houses for so-called "charities" that treat the truly poor and helpless and about to be homeless in that manner.

I am still poor and still hate myself. But at least I am poor and proud rather than poor and used.

Habitat for Humanity is NOT for the truly poor. It is for the lower to middle - middle class who can pay and supply labor with no hardships to their own finances or work situations.

The truly poor and needy can shove it.

Answer 3

There's an architect who has designed a bus shelter that doubles as a place to sleep for the night. Plus he has designed a shipping container that has been turned into a house.

Answer 4

I have helped Habitat for Humanity with my labor and with my money. You can find organizations through the Habitat for Humanity website that will get volunteers to the gulf coast to build houses for Katrina victims.

Answer 5

Absolutely! It shouldn't matter what religion you are (or aren't) for this one.....helping those with less is a no-brainer.

Answer 6

Would not praying be more efficient ?

Answer 7

sure!
