The Casanova Murillo Family
Country - Ecuador
Members of the Family - This family consists of Mercedes and her husband Tarcisio.
Dates of Birth - Mercedes 9-24-1951, Tarcisio 9-11-1954
Occupation and Salary - Tarciscio is a farmer and provides for himself and his wife.
Our Story - Mercedes had a stroke recently and lost her ability to speak. She has been confined to a wheelchair since then. Tarsicio cares for her, and because of this, he has not been able to go back to work. He does not want to leave her side.
They lived for several years in Venezuela, where they had a good life, but were forced to flee because of the unstable political situation. They are running out of the money they had saved, and they are unsure what to do. They are also both diabetic, which worries them very much.
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.
