Nutritious Meals
9 yrs. old
Entered the program: July 2025
Melany currently lives with her mother and little brother, Ulises (also in the program), in a small room that they rent in her uncle’s house. They have one bunk-bed which serves as a place to sleep, eat, and do homework. They also have a small fridge and a gas stove top. The house has no running water, and they share a latrine with several other families, which causes further strain on the already over-crowded situation. Melany’s uncle has told them that they must leave and find somewhere else to live; this will leave them homeless.
Melany and her parents came to the area when she was 4 years old. Her father has a drug addiction and anger problems, and both she and her mother have suffered physical abuse from him. Her parents are separated, with a restraining order, but he continues to stalk and harass them. The fear and stress has led to health issues, sleep problems and disruptions to their daily lives.
When you sponsor a child, you’re not just providing essentials like nutritious meals, clean water, education, and health care. You’re helping unlock something far greater—their God-given purpose. You’re creating a bond that goes beyond meeting needs, showing them the love of Christ and guiding them toward a future filled with hope.
Select a child to sponsor and step into their journey with an ongoing commitment of at least $38 a month. By doing so, you'll be part of God's plan for their life, providing vital resources like education, meals, and spiritual guidance.
Receive your sponsor kit, complete with your child's detailed profile, photo, and special gifts. Get to know their hopes, dreams, and challenges as you begin a meaningful, life-changing relationship.
