On June 3, an enthusiastic team of ACYOA /Armenian Church Youth Organization of America/, led by Fr. Hratch Sargsyan, joined Fuller Center for Housing Armenia to help the Mheryan family form Mrgavet village of Ararat Region to sooner complete the construction of their dream home. The team did tremendous work giving the family a real hand up!
The Mheryan family lives in Mrgavet village of Ararat region. They live in a metal container for almost 12 years. After marriage, they lived with Samvel’s parents in their house for a year. Then the family had to move into the metal container. The metal container where they live is in a miserable condition — no bathroom, no kitchen. The container consists of a small room, which is divided into two parts.
Tehmineh’s father started to build a new house but it remained unfinished. He died in a car accident. Samvel and Tehmineh carried on the construction works but they were able to build only the walls and the roof of the house.
“We have been building the house for almost seven years. We work hard but still couldn’t afford to finish the construction works. There aren’t any living conditions in the metal container. I just hope that one day my family will no longer live in such conditions,” said Tehmineh.
Thank you team for the financial and volunteer contribution to the mission of helping Armenian families in housing need! Your support is very encouraging! Till the end of 2019, the family will live in a decent home!
