Your Support Helps Children Like Adriely

At 7 years old, Adriely watched flames ravage her childhood home. The fire destroyed nearly everything her family owned. And without close relatives, Adriely, her 5-year-old brother and her mother were left scared and alone.

Our local church partner stepped in immediately to support the family, providing their most urgent needs: a bed, mattress, blankets, kitchen equipment, school supplies and food baskets.

“We lost practically everything, so everything they gave us was a great help. They provided us with the things we needed the most.”
Maribel, Adriely’s mother
