Lucas grows up in the peripheries of Tarija, known as the Garden of Bolivia. This playful and smiley boy enjoys playing with cars. He was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body, which can lead to skin changes, bone deformities, or learning disabilities. Despite his condition, he finds joy in simple activities that capture his curiosity and imagination. He lives with his parents in a modest house made of brick walls and corrugated metal roof. They have electricity, but they lack sanitation services and it is difficult to get access to healthcare services and quality education. His father works as a messenger, while his mother takes care of the household chores. Their income is around US $ 303.00 per month, which is not enough to cover the basics. Your monthly contribution along with your encouraging letters will help plant a seed in the life of this child so that he can have a brighter future.
