Mercer university students from Americus, GA volunteering with Fuller Center for Housing Armenia helping beneficiary family Avetikyans to build their house and move out of metal container. The mother of the family Naira sharing her toughs:
The text below is the translation of her words.
I have 3 sons: 8 years old twins and the elder son of eleven years old. One of my sons was born with cerebral palsy.
We have lived in a metal container for 7 years and it was already impossible to live there, it was very difficult. During the rains it was leaking in such a way that it was impossible even to renovate: the humidity was just unbearable.
All the time we were thinking over and over, more exactly to say we were dreaming of having a home of our own. We couldn't find an organization to help us, because we weren't able to pay back the interests.
That's why when we were chosen as Fuller Center for Housing Armenia beneficiary family it seemed to us incredible, it was unbelievable, at first we were very surprised and even now I can't explain what emotions we did have at that moment.
We are grateful to Fuller Center for Housing Armenia and to those volunteers, supporters, that came from such a distance instead of having rest somewhere else, who put their resources and all their workforce into helping us: they worked during the heavy rains and unbearable hot when it seemed no one could have been able to work...
Once more we are just grateful to all those who have helped us, to all volunteers and supporters.

Thank you, thank you ever so much!
