Location:  They live in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in a very poor area called Flor de Bastion. 

Members of the Family: This family consists of Diego and Brigitte, and their two sons, Diego and Thiago.

Dates of Birth: Diego: March 23, 1999; Brigitte: February 26, 1999; Diego: April 27, 2017; Thiago: December 19, 2021

Occupation and Salary: Diego works as a mason when he can find work, although it is scarce, and his salary is not enough to support the family on. 

Our Story: The family does not own their own house, although Diego's mother has gifted them a small area of land in which to begin building a house when they are able to. Diego struggled in the past with drug addiction, as the area in which he grew up was run by drug gangs. The children are not in school. 

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.
