The Alfaro Mago Family
Country - Ecuador
Members of the Family - This family consists of Eduardo and his wife Vilmar.
Dates of Birth - Eduardo 09/06/1987, Vilmar 05/05/1987
Occupation and Salary - Vilmar sells french fries and sausages on the street, and Eduardo is unemployed. She makes around $5 to $10 daily.
Our Story - They moved from Venezuela around a year ago, and now live in a small apartment in Chone, Ecuador. When it rains, the apartment becomes very flooded, but they are still paying the $70 to rent it monthly. It has electricity and running water.
Vilmar has very delicate health, but they have not been able to afford a specialist. She struggles with asthma, bone pain, and a colon disorder. Eduardo has been hospitalized several times due to his stomach ulcers, but he cannot afford the cost of the medicine he needs to relieve his pain.
What Your Sponsorship Provides
When you sponsor a family in Ecuador, your donation supports a monthly gift of food and basic hygiene and cleaning products for the family. These families are very impoverished and what little income they have is not enough to buy the basic necessities. Families will also receive monthly visits from volunteers and the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother who not only look after their physical needs but also their spiritual needs. Any additional funds given beyond the minimum $37 per month will provide other necessities as needed, such as home repairs or basic home utensils. Additional donations can be made here.
What You'll Receive
As a sponsor, you will receive a newsletter with general updates from our communities in India and Ecuador as well as a letter from your adopted child 3 times per year: Easter, early fall and Christmas. We also encourage you to send letters or cards to your adopted child by creating and logging into your account on our website.
