Occupation and Salary: Robinson is a part-time day worker and makes $15 a day when there is work. Katherine receives $55 a month in government assistance to help with the children.

Our Story: Katherine was abandoned by her first partner eight years ago and was left alone with her three children. Robinson does all that he can to help the entire family. Kenny suffers from Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia. It is a very aggressive disease and the parents are greatly affected. 

The house that they live in now is rented and seems to be in good condition, but when winter (the rainy season) arrives, it floods where it’s located. Last winter they had to be taken to a shelter until the rains stopped. They have to pay for electricity and water and the girls need to use transportation to get to school. 

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.
