The Veláquez Tiberio Family
Country - Ecuador
Members of the Family - This family consists of Rossy, Deyvis, and their two sons-- Adrián and Deybert.
Occupation and Salary - Rossy and Deyvis sell sweets on the streets of Ecuador. Rossy also looks after the house.
Our Story - They live in Chone in a very small apartment with just a few pieces of furniture and a couple old mattresses on the floor. They pay $60 per month for the room and live in great poverty because so much of their salary goes towards just covering this rent. They often do not have enough to eat. They own hardly any clothes and cannot afford to buy anything for their house.
They fled Venezuela, their native land, not long ago, and their youngest child was born in Columbia en route to Ecuador. They hope to be able to enroll their oldest child in school soon, and above all, they wish to find more stable jobs to provide a better life for both of their children.
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.
