Emily

Birthday: January 27, 1994

Emily is 16 years old and in fourth year of high school. She is a determined student; hoping to finish high school, attend college, and improve her life and that of her family.

Emily describes herself as a friendly, happy and helpful person. Others say she is reliable and loved dearly by those around her for her sweet nature. She is interested in drawing and reading and thankful that she has the God-given talents to sing and dance.

Emily is the middle child of five and is extremely close to her siblings. Her father works as a scrap ironer in a junkshop and most of the time earns aproximately $3 US dollars in one day. Emily's mother is a housewife taking good care of them. Their home is on a granted facility for the Urban Poor and they face the daily struggles of poverty. They own the shanty house where they live but they are not paying for the rent of the lot since they are part of Urban Poor. They hear rumors that soon they will become one of the victims of demolition team.


Emily's life ambition is to become a successful teacher. Her hope is to give back to her community. At Wesley Home for Youth, her dreams will be supported and she can continue in school. Emily’s family is able to visit her at the home and receive Christian training and support through the home’s family outreach program.

Beautiful Emily is in need of a monthly sponsor. Maybe it could be your small group, church ladies group, etc. Please pray for Emily.

Thankful,
Sheryl
