Noe Gonzales

Noe Gonzales and his young family live in a little adobe house that is about the size of a master bedroom in the US. They have 4 kids, one of whom was in Bentz's class. Amy first met Noe when all the parents came to class for the first time to drop off the new kindergarteners. Later on, we learned that Noe also was mormon, but part of the indigenous ward - the ward had the same geographical boundaries as ours, but they all spoke kichwa in church instead of spanish.  Noe and his wife were just plain good people. A young family with not much to go on, but working hard and trying to keep their heads above water. We had the great opportunity to become part of their lives and help them to obtain this embroidery machine shown below. Before this machine, Noe would work up to 18 hours a day, embroidering designs using a normal sewing machine. If he worked the full day, he could pump out one per day. With his new machine, Noe will be able to produce 2 or 3 per day, possibly doubling his earning potential. We wish the best for Noe and his family.
