Improving “quality of life” - Mejorando la “calidad de vida”

Improving “quality of life” - Mejorando la “calidad de vida”

Have you ever gotten in the shower and realized you didn't have soap or shampoo? Have you ever wanted to brush your teeth after a meal and realized you had no toothbrush or toothpaste? These items add a great deal of comfort to our daily lives and help us maintain our health and hygiene. However, it isn't hard to realize that if one's income is limited, these basic supplies may be out of reach.

¿Alguna vez han comenzado a bañarse y de pronto no encontraron jabón o champú? ¿Alguna vez se han querido cepillar los dientes, y no tenían cepillo o pasta dental? Estas cosas nos traen mucha comodidad, y también nos ayudan a mantener la higiene y salud. Pero, no es difícil ver que cuando falta el dinero, estas cosas pueden estar fuera del alcance.

DHP is currently making an increased effort to put together personal care packages for all our shelter residents. Our 65 shelter residents, many whom work as day laborers, often purchase their own supplies. However, those who can't work, or had a few days with no work, and those who are just arriving at our program, sometimes need help getting these supplies. 

In recent meetings at our shelters, the need for these supplies has been mentioned. In response, we recently provided a very basic personal care package to all our shelter residents, and are looking for ways to provide these more often.

For our readers that would like to directly support this project, we need: Deodorant, shampoo, bath soap, shaving supplies, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.

El programa DHP esta haciendo el esfuerzo para reunir paquetes de cuidado personal para los residentes de nuestros albergues. Muchos de los 65 residentes son jornaleros, y a veces pueden conseguir sus propios productos de higiene. Sin embargo, los que no pueden trabajar, o han tenido días sin trabajo, o recientemente fueron admitidos al programa, pueden necesitar ayuda para conseguir sus productos de higiene.

Hace poco, tuvimos reuniones en nuestros albergues, y los residentes han mencionado la necesidad por productos de higiene personal. Quisiéramos poder proveerlos a todos los residentes de los albergues con más frecuencia. 

Para los que quieren apoyar a este proyecto, necesitamos: Desodorante, champú, jabón, productos para afeitarse, cepillo y pasta de dientes.
