The Pino Family

Country - Ecuador

Members of the Family
 - This family consists of Maria and her relatives.  Her two young sons-- Orly and Josthyn-- live with her, as do her three siblings-- Maryury, Marlene, and Disney.  Disney's wife (Jenny) and daughter (Viviana) also reside with the family. 

Occupation and Salary - Maria and her sister-in-law both work as housewives.  They are the only source of money in the family, as Disney is unable to work due to his medical condition.  They do not receive a steady income and have difficulty caring for the family. 

Our Story -  The family lives in a house in Chone which is in very poor condition, due to the terrible 2016 earthquake. it belongs to Maria's parents, which is why she is living there with all of her siblings. 
 
The family is healthy, but Disney had an operation not long ago in which part of his small intestine is removed.  He is now on a medical drain and requires much care. His wife cares for him and looks after the house and the children when she is at home. 
 
The rest of the children and grandchildren are studying in elementary school or at the university and thus are not able to work.  Orly, Josthyn, and Viviana are still in grade school, and Marlene and Maryury are in college studying agriculture and business administration. 
 
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.
