Esau is 12 years old and in third grade. He is from Amatitlan, and his birthday is on May 4, 2004.
Veronica (33) and Erik (30) are Esau’s parents. Sadly, Erik is in wheelchair due to a motorcycle accident that happened five years ago. Since then he has not been able to provide for his family. Erik and Veronica have four children: Esau (12), Madelin (7) who is in preschool, Mileidy (15) who is in seventh grade, and Joshua (5).
Life for this family has been very difficult. Veronica works in a factory with a monthly income of $297, although what she earns has not been enough to cover all of their needs. There are times when they cannot afford to pay for the medical treatment that Erik needs for pressure sores.
Esau desires to be able to continue his schooling and achieve his dreams. His goal is to become a professional in the work force.
His sponsorship costs $25 a month for a total of $300 a year.
