A post from Lisa:
This is Jhojaris. I have been sponsoring her for just a couple months. I am hoping that Steve will get to meet her in Barranquilla in just a few weeks! She has 5 siblings. I received today their family photos, medical and education reports, and special needs requests. The report says they live in terrible living conditions and need a lot. But for the first two needs they asked for $100 for a bed. All 7 people sleep in 2 beds right now. They also asked for $100 because Jhojaris does not have any sneakers for gym and her daily shoes she is wearing do not fit her. Plus they don't have adequate food. I will be trying to do this for her asap. I know I can do one right away but will try for both. I would also like to see if the mother would be interested in an IGP. The father abandoned the family and the mother doesn't work so she can care for the kids. Sometimes the father sends very little money and sometimes he doesn't.
Jhojaris is in the blue :-)

They are blessed to have you as a sponsor. I hope and pray that their living conditions will continue to improve through your sponsorship. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
Wow-they are definitely a family in need! Are any of her siblings sponsored?
