Quick with a smile and full of youthful energy, Tatiana is an adorable 4-year-old who lives in the outskirts of San Pedro Sula. She lives in a tiny home covered in zinc sheets riddled with holes along with her mother, Migdalia, and four siblings. Her mother makes less than $20 each week, which is not enough to make ends meet for her children.
At such a young age, Tatiana should be blissfully unaware of how truly desperate her living conditions are. But when asked if she is looking forward to attending school, her face falls and her voice loses its happy chirp. She says she can't go to school because her mother can't afford the shoes that are required to attend.
Her mother sadly agrees.
"Money is never enough to buy food, medicine when they are sick, or clothes, shoes and school supplies. I don't know what I am going to do when all of them are in school."
Migdalia's heart is breaking because she has so little to give her children.
But once Tatiana is sponsored through Children International's child sponsorship program, she will receive the educational support she needs. She will also gain much-needed medical care, clothing and shoes. Tatiana's greatest needs will be met, and a mother's burden will be eased.
