Just before Christmas, I was excited to deliver presents from PazSalud to some of the special families we work with throughout the year. Here's a brief update on how they are doing.
Gloribel and her mother Hortensia: Gloribel is a wonderful young deaf woman that PazSalud has worked with for several years by helping her to go to school. She has made tremendous progress in recent years and has a loving family that helps her along the way. (Also she's really not twice the size of her mother, just a camera angle distortion.)
Rosita and her daughters Lupita and Edith: Rosita is a double leg amputee who lives with her two daughters in El Paraiso; a modest rural community just outside of Chalatenango. PazSalud has worked with her over the years to help her obtain some of life's basic necessities to ease the burden of everyday existence for the poor in El Salvador.
Sandra (blue shirt) with her grandmother Maria Ines and her sister Elizabeth: Sandra is a beautiful girl, born with arthrogryposis, who PazSalud has been helping to attend school. With the help of an individual in-class tutor, Sandra has made great strides in the past year and recently passed into the 3rd grade. Education coupled with physical therapy ensures that her condition no longer limits her potential.
Sonia with her children Julia, Kelly and Harry; Sonia and her family have been with PazSalud for several years and as with Rosita, we work with them to ensure they are able to live safe and comfortable lives. Sonia works incredibly hard to provide the best possible future for her children and PazSalud is happy partner with her in this effort.
PazSalud is honored to participate - in a small way - in the successful futures of these families and all the amazingly resilient, deserving and loving people we have had the pleasure of meeting over the years. Merry Christmas.
