Location:  They live in Chone, Ecuador, in the Flor de Bastion sector. 

Members of the Family: This family consists of Roberto, Alda, and their two children Daniel and John. 

Dates of Birth: Roberto 3/17/1975, Alda 5/26/1954, Daniel 4/12/1995, John 1/5/199J

Occupation and Salary:  None of the family members are employed. 

Our Story: The family owns the house, but it is in a terribly poor and marginalized area. The last few months especially have seen a spike in gang violence and crime. Roberto is diabetic and blind, and he has a treatment that costs around $100. It is getting very hard for them to afford it. 

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.
