In Loving Memory
Michael Bonderer worked as Executive Director of Homes from the Heart for over 15 years, ever since the devastating earthquakes hit El Salvador in 2001. Michael was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a former entrepreneur from Kansas City, Missouri. Besides being in the construction business for over 25 years, Michael owned various restaurants and an elevator maintenance company. In 2000, Michael was in search of redemption. So, he ventured to Guatemala with a truckload of tools and his dog Jake. Once there, he began working with neglected children on the streets. Then, he met Zuze and moved to El Salvador. The rest is history.
