Location:  They live in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in the Sociovivienda 3 sector.

Members of the Family: This family consists of Jessica, Pablo, and their children, Dario and Celen.

Dates of Birth: Jessica 9/8/1990, Pablo 4/12/1969, Dario 8/5/2011, Celen 11/28/2024

Occupation and Salary: Pablo works selling juice on the street. He can make up to $150 monthly when the sales are good. Dario is in school.  

Our Story: The family is struggling financially, as Pablo’s salary is not enough to support the family. It costs about $20 monthly for Dario to get to school, which is hard for them to afford, but they want him to have a good education. Jessica suffers from epilepsy and requires medical treatment, which is very expensive. Additionally, Dario has down syndrome and speech/vision problems. He is qualified as 70% physically disabled by the government.  

The family owns their house, but it is not in good condition. It was given to them by a neighbor who was aware of their financial situation. 

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.
