The sole support of these fatherless children is their widowed mother. She has no schooling, speaks no Spanish, and the little work she can find is picking coffee during the harvest season. Harvesting is done now and there is no work for another five months. We ask you to consider sending a small donation to help us purchase food for Easter for this family and others like them.
Happy with clothes and shoes for school
A few days ago, Adopt-a-Village found Suleidi, Nelson, Breieda, Elmer, and Deneisi. Their father died two years ago when his wife was pregnant with Deneisi. With no breadwinner in the family, their poverty is extreme. The children were walking to school barefooted—their mother has been unable to afford to buy shoes for them. Adopt-a-Village responded immediately with school clothes and shoes. Now, going to school can be a happy event, not one of shame because they cannot dress as other children.
We are hoping that someone out there will want to help them. A 100 lbs. of corn for $25 will insure that have tortillas. Or you can sponsor one (or two!) of them. Happily Breseida has been taken into the care of Leigh and her adopted Guatemala daughter, through sponsorship. We would love to see others offer that same compassion to Breseida’s brothers and older sister. Please email us at guatvillage@gmail.com.
