Mainly owing to Windy not having a Blog since he stopped blogging several months ago, Lainy’s Musings will adopt “Heavenly Home” as an ongoing featured article here until its completion.
- HH Breaking News – HH Breaking News – HH Breaking News – HH Breaking News – HH Breaking
- Last night, over discussions with Windy, I understand that Windy intends to have a metal plaque to be displayed at the house. Windy himself shall pay for the cost of the metal plaque. The plaque will display the names of all who donated towards building the house.
- Windy also informed me that he will submit a full Expense Report for purchases made from the proceeds of Donors.
- I shall publish the Expense Accounts here at Lainy’s Musings.
Here again, for all those who wish to donate towards Heavenly Home, the PayPal button is displayed below. A full list will be duly published here for Blogger donors and their Blog links.

WOW Jenn! Thanks so much for your generosity. No words can ever express how much I appreciate your help.

God speed all the way!
Hi Lainybelle,
I commend you for taking a part in Windy’s laudable and noble undertaking. But will you please tell him to ensure that once the house is completed, the landowner would let the widow and her three children live and stay peacefully, as in a usufruct, and not evict or eject them? I think they are just squatting from the land, so they are occupying the land by mere tolerance of the owner.
I’m raising this concern because I don’t want to see Windy’s legacy and hard work gone with the wind in the event the landowner ejects the widow and her 3 children.
Because of you, Lainybelle, I donated a little amount, straight from my heart, believing that in a situation like this, it’s the thought that counts.

Hi Atty!
Thank you for swinging by and for taking part in the Project Heavenly Home. It means so much not only to us but most especially to the poor family who lives in dire poverty.
I have relayed your concern to Windy.
He returned me this reply.
“That will not happen. The what-ifs have been thoroughly thought out. One thing for sure, landlord and tenant issues do not have specific and elaborate laws in the Country. Fact is, whatever law exist in the Country, it is pro-tenant when arbitrated in Court.
For example, in the Country, in extreme cases when squatters had to be evicted, they were resettled in new homes or rented homes when the land had to be appropriated by the Government or private owner.
Just for the sake of discussion, in the case of “Heavenly Home”, although the landlord owns the land, he does not own the house. In the ensuing years, should the widow face an eviction notice (may God forbid that), the landlord (due to his consent that the house can be built on his land and be occupied by the widow) will have to indemnify the widow for the cost of the house or he will have to provide them with an alternate home solution.
Clearly, such a costly solution is something that the landlord will not wish to undertake.
Again, should eviction be inevitable (may God forbid that), the Country’s law and the citizens will not allow people to be thrown out into the streets. Even the illegal immigrants who are apprehended in the Country, they are given basic accommodation until they are deported to their homeland or to a willing adopter Country.
Be rest assured Lainy, discussions between the landlord and I have made it possible that the widow and her three children will peacefully occupy the house on that plot of land.
Furthermore, prior to initiating the house, I considered the benevolence of the landlord to allow the widow and her three children to use the “nipa” hut unconditionally as their dwelling. That act by itself assures me about the character of the landlord.”
I suppose Windy’s meticulous mind should dispel any doubt.
More blessings to you, Atty!
You have a good heart doing all this help for a friend
Good job my friend..

Thank you!
This is the only thing I can think of to be of help to my fellowmen. Somehow, it gives me a sense of fulfillment.
Once again Lainy, it is entries like this that make me glad to be your friend. And I admire the task that Windy has taken here obviously.
I’m glad to see my badge up in the slide on top of your page! Thanks!
Have a great week my friend!

Dang, I can’t find the start or beginning of this project to determine where this is, who the people are, and what happened to their house in the beginning to start this fabulous project.

Hello Sandy,
I shall reply to both your Comment questions at one go here.
From your first Comment:
Several Posts here explain the background why the house is being built. These Posts links are as follows:
1. “A House That Needs Caring Hearts”
link: http://www.lainyonline.com/heavenly-home/a-house-that-n…-caring-hearts
2. “From Out Of The Mouths Of Babes”
link: http://www.lainyonline.com/heavenly-home/from-out-of-th…ths-of-babes-2
The other Posts following those are updates on the progress of the donation drive, etc., etc.,
From your second Comment
Part of the answers is found above.
For the unanswered part…
The widow and her three children live in my country, Malaysia.
The widow no longer has a house to live in since the demise of her husband.
She has three children (as the photo shows at the Post, “Out From The Mouths Of Babes”
Having seen her dire circumstances, I decided to build a small house that she and her children could call Home. Her children are aged 3, 5 and 9. She ekes a living doing menial jobs where ever she can find a day’s wage.
I have blogged for 18 months before but have stopped several months ago. I “met” Lainy through her Blogs and since then we have been close friends. It explains why Lainy is helping out with her donation drive for this cause. Lainy learned about this house as well that I could do with charitable assistance.
I started this using my own savings to buy the materials. Although it is insufficient to support all the purchases for he basic materials, I started building the house with faith in God, that somehow He will not let this widow and her three children live without a home.
Several Bloggers (17 Bloggers to date) have graciously responded to Lainy’s appeal for help. I am indebted to Lainy for what she has done in this regard. I am also humbled by the outpouring of these generous Bloggers and those who will help me help the widow and her three children.
I hope I have ably answered your questions.
God Bless you Always!
