Our Mission

God's hands and feet — serving Puerto Rico

When Daniel and Marilyn Henderson arrived in Puerto Rico just weeks after Hurricane María, the island was devastated — homes gone, no power, no water. They couldn't look away.

They began handing out food and bottled water, then patching one roof, then another. They replaced windows and doors. What started as simple acts of help became a calling — and House of Hope Ministry — Ministerio Casa de Esperanza was born.

"Humbly serving the Lord by humbly serving those in need." — Daniel Henderson, Founder & President

Restoring homes & hope across Puerto Rico, one family at a time.
What We Do

Full home restoration — top to bottom

We don't just patch a wall. We make houses safe, dry, and livable again — so families can come home to dignity and peace.

Roof Repair

We seal and coat the roof and scrape and repaint ceilings inside — putting an end to the leaks that ruin a home.

Interior & Exterior Paint

Where paint is chipping and peeling, we scrape it back and repaint inside and out — protecting the home and renewing its spirit.

Kitchen Repair

Running water and working plumbing — plus new cabinets, counters and sinks — so families can prepare sanitary meals again.

Bathroom Repair

A fully functioning shower, toilet and sink — the basic dignity every household deserves.
