Name: Jeraluz
Birthday: November 9, 1994
Jeraluz is 15 years old and the oldest of five children. She is in her first year of high school and hopes to continue her education. She is a goal-oriented student and dreams of going to college in order to improve her life and that of her family.
Jeraluz’s father died some time ago; although her mother remarried, the family struggles to support 5 children with the irregular income of a scrap dealer. Their income is barely above $2 per day which allows only for rice. Her family shares a small shanty house without water and electricity. They live life day to day.
Jeraluz is a happy, young woman with a positive outlook on life. She is certain that given the opportunity to remain in school, she can successfully complete her studies and give something back to her community. At Wesley Home for Youth, her educational goals will be supported and she can continue in school. Jeraluz calls herself a Christian and will be supported as her faith is solidified in Christ. Jeraluz’s family is able to visit her at the home and receive Christian training and support through the home’s family outreach program.
Please consider committing to Jeraluz as a monthly sponsor.
Thankful, Sheryl
