Slideshow: Hitting the Roof

PEÑITAS – Sandy Wisdom-Martin knew building a home for a family living in desperate poverty in the Lower Rio Grande Valley would transform their lives. She had no idea it would save a life, too.

Now, thanks to the caring spirit of WMU volunteers from Texas and Illinois, the family of Juan Perez and Juany De La Rosa saw their lives change drastically in the span of one week.
