Sponsor A Child

Maria Helllena is a young Brazilian girl who lives with her maternal grandmother, Maria Helenita; mother, Rayane, and with her sister, Laura Violeta, in a small community in the state of Ceara. Their simple home has brick walls, rough cement floors and a clay-tiled roof. It is rented and has a tiny bathroom. Water is carried from an artesian well. The father has abandoned the home and has not been providing any type of financial support for his children. Rayane is unemployed at this time. The family receives a very small family allowance from the federal government, which is far from enough to meet basic needs. Maria Hellena is sweet, lively and talkative. She loves playing house and with dolls in the company of other girls her age. She is fond of animals, especially dogs and cats. Maria Hellena is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. She attends nursery school and loves painting and coloring. Your support will make a difference in the life of this needy child. 

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