The Tumbaco Chavez Family
Country - Ecuador
Members of the Family - This family is made up of the Father, Pablo Tumbaco, born on January 25, 1953. He is married to Esther Chavez. They have 6 children: Joel, 14 years old, 5th grade; Pablo, 12 years old, 5th grade; Maite, 10 years old, 3rd grade, Domenica, 8 years old, 2nd grade; Isaias, 7 years old, 1st grade; Andreina, 2 years old.
Occupation and Salary - Pablo is unable to consistently work since he suffers from diabetes. He also suffered from an accident that left him bedridden for a long time. When he is able, he goes to Montebello, a local grocery store, where he works loading and unloading merchandise. Esther takes care of the house and also works peeling potatoes, for which she receives $4 per day.
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.
