The Navarrete Family
Country - Ecuador
Members of the Family - This family consists of Margarita, a widowed housewife.
Dates of Birth - 10/18/1952
Occupation and Salary - She receives $100 monthly from the government.
Our Story - Margarita was widowed two months ago, and she misses her husband very much. She has three children, but they do not live very close to her. Even though they themselves are also poor, they still find the means to help her when they can.
She lives in a dilapidated house made out of wood and cane. She has electricity and running water occasionally, but usually has to buy candles and water in tanks to support herself.
Due to a fall she had, she hurt her knee and has trouble walking.
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.
