CUBA CHILD SPONSORSHIP

Hola (hello), my name is Leyris Maria

  • location

    Cuba

  • 14 yrs. old

    06-11-2011

Entered the Program: August 2024

Leyris lives with her parents, her grandmother, and two sisters in a wood one-bedroom house. Due to the lack of space, Leyris and her twin sister sleep at their other grandmother’s home, which is nearby. The family cooks with propane and electricity and get water from the town water line every two days which they boil for drinking. They use an outhouse. They have a refrigerator and a TV set.

Leyris’s parents are both employed and work as teachers. The family usually has two meals a day, but toward the end of the month, they only have enough for one and a sandwich at night.

Leyris's twin, Keylis, is also in the Good Samaritans Club program.
