Francisco de Jesus


Francisco is a little boy who is sponsored by a group of Children International sponsors. His sister, Evelyn, has a sponsor named Steve, who visited Evelyn and her family last April. When I saw Francisco's cute face on the video and the extremely poor living conditions that the family lived in, I asked to see if a group sponsorship could be started for him. He was enrolled in the program and Francisco, called Pancho, now has 12 sponsors :)

Francisco lives in Cartagena with his mother, sister Evelyn, younger brother, Samy, and new little sister. I don't know her name yet but hope to find out on the trip. Francisco is eight years old and he likes art and soccer. Thirteen people live in the home which has one multi purpose room, a dirt floor, and wooden walls. There is a toilet in the home along with running water.

We have set up fundraisers to help Francisco and his family and hope to make a difference in this family's life.
