"Juanito”, the Mask, and your New Year’s Resolutions

When we visited Mexicali a couple of months ago we found the youngest of the children, “Junanito”, 1 ½ year “old”, sick in another room – away from the rest.  He had been under the weather for a while, but was treated as best his care-takers at the Children’s Home mustered.  With the help of a local pharmacist he eventually recovered.

Then Christmas came and with it a rare chance for him to spend time with his mother.  She is very young and is very neglectful in her care of her little son.  And, of course - it reflects a rather common social ill - there is no father in the picture.

So, when she returned “Juanito” to the Children’s Home, he had relapsed and was in a considerably worse state than before she took him away, as well as showing signs of physical abuse.

Director Martin was able to rent a nebulizer (retails for less than $40.00 at CVS) from a local medical outlet at $20/week.  In addition to medication @ $10/day, “Juanito” is now improving.

When you support the ministry of YesWeServe, you help us help children like “Juanito” lead a better and healthier life.  It is often said in appeals that “any amount helps”; this is one example of how a relatively small amount (less than forty bucks) can make a considerable difference in the lives of both children and adults who live and work in our childrens’ home.

How are your New Year’s Resolutions coming along?  Did you toss out the list five weeks ago? Want to give it one more try? Please determine to become a regular financial supporter of YesWeServe and help children like “Juanito”, and in that way helping to “change the world, one child at a time”!
