Our Story - Nori and David live in a small concrete house in Guayaquil. They do not own the house; it was lent to them. David lives with his grandmother because his mother, Isabel, passed away from sickle cell anemia in November or 2019. His father is a drug addict and does not help support his son or his mother-in-law. They have no money because Nori is unable to work anymore and must stay home and take care of David. She has not been able to enroll him in school because it is all done virtually, and she does not know how.
David also suffers from sickle cell anemia, and as a result, he must have a very particular diet to strengthen his immune system. However, he has not been able to attend his medical checkups since his mother passed away, and his health is poor now.
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.
