Catherine

During a meeting at a very large orphanage on the other side of Cebu, a 10 year old girl came in who had been begging on the streets. She was doing what she could to survive. Catherine. She was a true orphan....God had brought her to us so that we can provide and care for her in Wesley Home. One of the cutest and sweetest girls you could imagine.

Catherine's father and mother abandoned her at birth. She was fortunate to find shelter with her deaf, aging grandmother. As a street vendor, her grandmother's income was insufficient to care for Catherine and a cousin. Catherine would help her grandmother sell products on the street in order to give her grandmother time to do laundry. They have been living in a single room with no water.

Catherine is a sweet, polite, and shy little girl. She is an average student in grade three. Her teacher says she needs adult follow-up outside the classroom to boost her self-confidence. At Wesley Home for Youth, Catherine's education will be supported and with adult supervision to her studies her self-confidence will grow.

This precious child is in need of monthly sponsors. Please consider supporting her financially through The Rescue Foundation. If you would like more information please check our website therescuefoundation.com .


Thankful, Sheryl
