The Cedeño Lobáton Family
Country - Ecuador
Members of the Family - This family consists of Janeth, her children (Ingrid, Anthony, and Carlos), her father Hector, her sister Roxana, and Roxana's son John.
Dates of Birth - Janeth 8/9/1979, Ingrid 6/23/2000, Anthony 11/23/2003, Carlos 12/3/2005, Hector 7/2/1944, Roxana 7/15/1975, John 8/30/2013
Occupation and Salary - Janeth and Roxana do housework and babysitting. They make around $40 weekly. They also receive $150 monthly in governmental aid.
Our Story - The family lives together in a cane and wood house that belongs to Janeth's father. They moved into the house recently because the last house they owned was very isolated and they felt unsafe after they were robbed. The house is being lent to them on loan, so they only have to pay the bills for electricity and running water.
All of the children are enrolled in school, except for Carlos. He stopped his studies 3 years ago since he was bullied so much in school that was unable to learn. The other children are learning online, and Ingrid is enrolled in a university where she is studying foreign languages.
Janeth has not been able to find work recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Roxana has been trying to support the whole family from her income earned in babysitting. Janeth's husband used to help out with the finances, but he was tragically murdered a few months ago.
The family dreams of making enough money so that they can purchase their own house where they can raise the children in safety without fear of robbery or murder.
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.
