The Larry D. Large Foundation

Serving the Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico Community Since 2001

 

Housing

 

Bathrooms

The Foundation builds bathrooms for the elderly who have only the most rudimentary services and no bathroom   The purpose is to give the elderly more dignity in the remaining years of their lives.  Each bathroom is an addition to their home including a toilet, shower and wash basin plus pump, water and septic systems.  Since mid 2005  four have been constructed.  Beginning in the summer of 2006 we would like to build one a month.

The following poem was written in Spanish by the recipient of the first bathroom addition as a thank you to the Foundation.  It has be translated to English as well as possible but may have lost some of the rhyme.

“TESOROS EN EL CIELO”


Señor mío y Dios mío
Que grupo maravilloso
Que nuestro Dios a reunido
Para arreglar nuestro nido

Gloria a Dios en las alturas
Que con gozo mira sus hechos
El cielo les cobija
Y los bendice en sus lechos.

Haced el bien eso dijo:
Padres nobles misericordiosos
A tu hogar siempre entrare
Con amor siempre, y glorioso

Vivo ejemplo del gran padre y hermano;
Su bondad siempre derraman
Y al ver la pena del hermano
Con destreza y voluntad le tienden la mano


Señor llénales siempre sus manos
Y sus almas de tus dones,
Pon luz en sus caminos
Y para sus hogares mil perdones

Gracias mi Dios bondadoso
Por cruzarlos en mis penas;
Que por tu gran misericordia
Nos han hecho esta vida más buena


Obran en nombre tuyo
Lo que es muy grato a tus ojos.
Ante ti padre santísimo
Te adoraremos de hinojos.

Te doy gracias señor
Por tan gran bendición
Que enviaste ha este grupo
Lleno de gran compasión

Nuestras oraciones hacia el cielo van
Para que tú les pagues con abundancia y felicidad.
Incrementa la caridad en personas para ayudar
A este grupo de gran valentía y tenacidad.


GRACIAS POR SIEMPRE
FUNDACION LARRY LARGE
SIEMPRE RECORDADOS EN EL CIELO SERAN
DONDE LOS TESOROS QUE NUNCA ACABAN LOS ESPERARAN.

 TREASURES IN HEAVEN


My Lord and my God
What a wonderful group
That our Lord has united
To fix our home

Glory to God in the highest
With joy watching his deeds
Heaven protect them
And bless them in their beds.

Be good, he said,
Merciful parents.
In your home I always will be with love
Always, and glorious

A living example of the great father and brother;
Their kindness always spreads
And upon seeing their brother in pain
With skill and love they offer them a hand

Lord fill up their hands
And their spirits with your gifts
Light up their paths
And bless their homes one thousand times

Thank you my righteous God
For guiding them to me in my time of hardship;
By your great mercy
They have made our lives better

They work in your name
What is very pleasing to your eyes
Before you my greatest Lord
We will kneel and adore you.

I give thanks to you Lord
For such great blessing
Sending this group,
Full of compassion and love

Our prayers to heaven go
So you can bless them with abundance and happiness.
Endow people with compassion
To help this group of great courage and perseverance


Thank you always
Larry D. Large Foundation
You will always be remembered in heaven
Where the treasures that never end and will wait for you


WRITTEN BY EUGENIO OSORIO AS A GIFT TO THE LARRY D. LARGE FOUNDATION FOR BUILDING HIS BATHROOM.

 

New Construction

The  Foundation has constructed 28 new homes  since 1998.  These homes are a welcome improvement from their owner’s previous housing.  We build most houses for families who have minimal shelter and who have several children.
