We would like to introduce you to Lindy, she was contacted by JUCONI team while she was juggling in the streets every day. Lindy lives with her mother Mayra, her father José and her siblings Bryan, Andy, Sunny and Yedi. All of them live in a marginal urban area of Guayaquil located in the north of the city called Fortín. With your sponsorship we will work to turn Lindy’s life around and that of her family so that she can be guaranteed to begin her education and thereby have the chance of a life away from the streets. We will provide intensive family, school and community based services to Lindy and her family and your sponsorship provides the key piece to the jigsaw by covering the financial costs of her education: the cost of the uniforms, books and other school materials as well as the regular sums which students are required to contribute to the schools which themselves often don’t have the resources they need. In addition your sponsorship will provide a cushion to the family’s economic situation through providing a monthly food basket consisting of low cost but highly nutrious foods. The benefits of this basket are various.To begin with they mean we can reduce and then stop the income which Lindy brings into the family through her street work without the family being unable to feed itself at all. These food baskets also provide an opportunity to impact upon the nutrition of the whole family and to re-educate them as to how to eat healthily at low cost. The family are taught how to cook with the soya, quinoa, grains and other high nutrition level food stuffs in the food basket so that by the time they are independent of our and your help they can feed themselves at low cost whilst maintaining adequate nutrition. Your sponorship also means we can support Lindy and the family with medical treatments or medicines which are not free and this can mean relatively low cost medicines which are literally life saving for some sickness. We will also use any money left over from your sponorship to contribute for Lindy to be able to attend community groups, educational outings etc. so that she can become more fully a part of her own community rather than the “street community” which she is currently a part of. All children who are sponsored know that they are being supported by someone and if you would like to send a message to Lindy you are very welcome to do so through Love A Child Foundation.
