Sponsor A Child

Name: Erick

Country: Brazil

Birthday: 06/13/2018

Erick is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his maternal grandmother, Waldinelia; great-grandmother, Maria, and with one uncle and one aunt, in the state of Ceara. Their simple home, which is self-owned, has brick walls, rough cement flooring and a clay-tiled roof. It has a tiny bathroom. Running water and electricity are available. The father has never provided any financial assistance whatsoever and his whereabouts is unknown. The mother has abandoned the home. Vitor (uncle) takes some odd jobs when available; his low income, however, is far from enough to meet basic needs. Erick is playful, cheerful and affectionate. He helps his grandma by putting away items like toys and dishes. He likes playing ball along with other kids his age. He has a cat he is fond of. Erick is considered to have good health. He attends kindergarten and loves painting and coloring. He says that he will be a soccer player when he grows up. The family is needy and through your support Erick and his family have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, recreation, education and nutrition.

Ending child poverty begins with Erick. It’s easy. It’s impactful.
