We'll call her Lisa. She is a teenager in Belize, and she has four younger siblings. When her mother passed away in 2013, she became the sole breadwinner for her family. Unable to pay for their schooling, Lisa had to care for them during the day - which prevented her from working to earn enough for the family to survive. They were in a perpetual cycle and the family was threatened with poverty.

My wife and I learned about her situation through a friend, and through the ministry we founded, provided the resources the younger siblings needed for their schooling. Her siblings are getting educated, she is working, and the family now faces a more promising future.

Thank you to those who are praying with us & giving to the organization so that people like Lisa and her family can not just survive, but thrive.
