“Today I want to thank all the people who have contributed in a significant way to my

studies. I’m infinitely grateful for the help provided by all the members of Casa de los Pobres and those external people who also collaborate with financial and material support. This financial support that is provided has been destined for the payment of school fees, transportation, or material that is required for some subjects. Having said the above, one again I thank each one of you, because without that support, it is likely that the circumstances would be different and the money allocated to my studies would not be enough for my academic needs. I sincerely hope that eveything they have given is rewarded, that they are cared for and protected at all times.” Mariana

Thank you for the school supplies and financial support!

San Rafael Church organized a very successful drive for school supplies which will make a direct impact as the children start the new school year. All Hallows Parish supported “back to school” with many filled book bags and lots of other necessary supplies plus cash donations. The students are very grateful for the support.

A solid education increases self-esteem in the children through teaching of the “3 Rs”, while the Sisters instruct them in the important Spiritual and moral tenets of our Faith. Your donations enable the Sisters to help over 500 students with school supplies and other necessities. With the Scholarship Fund money, the Sisters find serious students with ambition who truly desire to study and improve their life situations. These students discover vocation goals and work toward them. It is an exciting time of life for these children. They deeply appreciate your help! We give, Sisters give, the children also want to give.

Thank you for your gifts of food, bedding, and other items requested last month. These donations bolster the lives of the many who come to the Casa for help.The people thank God daily before breakfast for the special blessings that you make possible in their lives.
