what Tierra Nueva means to me

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I'm writing to tell you what Tierra Nueva has meant to my family. Tierra Nueva has helped us in many ways, as much spiritually as materially. Sometimes I haven't had anyone to help me, and I go to Tierra Nueva. They've helped me fill out applications, and when we've had appointments—especially because we don't have good command of English—they've interpreted for us.

I believe Tierra Nueva has done the maximum for us. May God reward them for all they've done for us, the poor. For my part, I want to give thanks to all who've worked with Tierra Nueva, especially the ones who fund it, because Tierra Nueva is where the poor find refuge. They never turn anyone down who asks for help, when it's within their ability.

For this I am grateful with all my heart, to all those who've extended a hand, so that Tierra Nueva can continue giving help to those who need it in the future.

Many thanks,
Salvio Hernandez
