Location:  They live in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in the Sociovivienda 3 sector.

Members of the Family: This family consists of Katy and her children: Jefferson, Cristina, Yurid, and Thais

Dates of Birth: Katy 2/11/1983, Jefferson 5/15/2001, Cristina 5/13/2003, Yurid 11/5/2017, Thais 3/2/2022

Occupation and Salary: Jefferson is the only employed person in the family. He works as a day laborer, earning about $150 monthly. Katy qualifies for $50 monthly aid from the government. Yurid and Thais are in school.

Our Story: The family suffers from many medical conditions. Cristina is deaf and mute and needs treatment. Katy has cancer, and Yurid and Thais are both ill as well, although they do not know what exactly is wrong. They need money for the doctor, but it is very hard for them to afford it on Jefferson’s salary.

The family owns their house, but it is not in good condition. It was given to them by a neighbor who was aware of their financial situation. 

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.
