Member Robb Stroyke Funds Two Homes In Central America

Congratulations to Giveback Homes member Robb Stroyke for closing the most expensive home ever sold in the Hermosa Beach area. We are even more proud to say that Robb has funded two homes for families living in extreme poverty in Central America. Robb is funding the homes on behalf of his clients, the Lopez family, who made all this possible by working with a member of Giveback Homes.

Thank you to Robb for making a difference and helping change lives through homes! The two homes were completed at the end of February for the Hernandez and Cano families.

This family lived in an overcrowded and unstable conditions; their house was made of old wood and dirt floor. They had a latrine and drinking water. Their stove was inside the house because they don’t count with sufficient economical resources to build a kitchen outside the house. This can be harming to the families health since the stove expels a lot of smoke and they inhale it, and can cause future illness.
