The first student to be profiled is Freddy. He is one of the five students that will benefit from this raffle.
We are sponsoring him in school (he is in 5th grade this year) and we have sent this family vitamins. I currently have a request in for ways that we can help this family. His family is very poor and need our assistance desperately. This family did not receive an Easter food basket and I would LOVE to be able to provide the family with a Mother's Day food basket. You can donate and win a great piece of art.
Adoptive Families Giving Back to Guatemala: RAFFLE
Freddy is 11 yrs old. He lives with his mother and father and 3 siblings (12, 5, and almost 2). They do not own their own house, they are renting a house in Panajachel. They pay $22 a month for one room. The father is a builder's assistant. He makes $4.60 US a day. They have just one bed. They have a small kitchen that they have made out of tin sheets. They do not have any closets to mind their clothes, they keep all their possessions in a cardboard box. They cook over an open fire on the ground.
They lost their rented house and all their possession in the Hurricane Stan last year.
