Amount requested: $600.00

Raised so far: $600.00

Amount still needed: $0

My name is Inmeriz García Henández. I lost my right hand and some of the bone in my left foot to a landmine. I was picking coffee in El Paraíso, Honduras to make some extra money when I stepped on the landmine. When I woke up I was in the hospital. When I returned home my husband left me and I was left alone to raise my three children. When I got my prosthetic [from Vida Nueva] I could return to my job as a cleaning lady. I like my job but the pay is not enough to send all three of my children to university. I would like a grant so my youngest daughter can go to school. It is every parent’s dream for their children to have a better life then they did.

People Affected

We've created this website to be a place where people who work in the coffee industry and coffee consumers can make a connection with the coffee farmers, workers and their families who deal with landmines on a daily basis.

Micro-Grants do not have to be repaid. They are one way the Trust can provide resources for people to help themselves.
