The Moreira Vera Family
Country - Ecuador
Members of the Family - This family consists of Sandy, her husband Ramón, and their four children: Néstor, Noelia, Edita, and Yuliana.
Dates of Birth - Sandy 10/25/1985, Ramón 09/15/1977, Néstor 12/16/2008, Noelia 08/11/2010, Edita 12/24/2012, Yuliana 03/10/2016
Occupation and Salary - Sandy is a housewife, and Ramón is currently unemployed. He has done guard duty and welding work in the past. Their four children are in school and cannot take jobs.
Our Story - Since the father is unemployed, they live on charity. A sister-in-law helps them whenever she can. Usually, they go to the soup kitchen that the missionary groups run on Trinitarian Island in Guayaquil.
The family suffers from many health conditions. Ramón suffers from alcoholism and mistreats Sandy when he is drunk. Néstor suffers from malnutrition and also toxoplasmosis. Noelia has an undiagnosed urinary issue, but the family cannot afford to treat it. Yuliana has very severe allergies.
They live in a cane house, which is at risk of collapsing. Their sister-in-law has given them the house. It is not in a good area, and there are cats, ducks, and dogs next door, so that the house is filled with bad odors. They do not have a bathroom.
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.
