Occupation and Salary - Juan sells ice cream, and Johana stays home to look after the children.
Our Story - They moved to Ecuador from Venezuela about two years ago in search of a better life. Juan has been able to find a job selling ice cream, but sales have dropped due to the pandemic, and they he can barely make enough to buy food for the family. They were able to find an apartment to rent, and the landlord is very flexible with the payments. Sometimes Johana will clean and do domestic work in place of monetary payment.
Both Astrid and Johana are suffering from medical conditions. Johana has hypertension, and Astrid has an undiagnosed heart condition that affects her pulse. Neither of them has been able to afford medical treatment.
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.
