This is Francisco. He is one of the sweetest children you will ever meet. He is the fifth out of six boys. His mother brought him and four of his brothers to Casitas one by one when she realized she couldn't afford to feed them anymore. She kept his oldest brother because he could "work." This little guy can bring a smile to anyone's face.
Daniela came here with her brother and sister at the end of May. Daniela's past has been marred with pain and suffering. As you have read before, Daniela's sister, Pamela, was sexually abused by their older brother. From what Pamela has told us and from what we have seen, we believe the Daniela was sexually abused, also. Her past has come to haunt her many times, causing her to through fits and have flash backs of the incident. As you can see, her smile lights up her whole face that can be found so often with despair written all over it. Daniela needs prayers to get her through the day without any reminder of her awful past.
Yovani is the "older" brother out of first five brothers who came to live at Casa de Esperanza. When his mother brought him to Casitas Kennedy, she told him to take care of his little brothers. He took that request to heart, and sometimes he become too over protective. Until the newest kids came in May, Yovani was the top dog. Now he is younger than some of the new boys and gets into fight with them, because he says that they pick on his little brothers. Things are getting better between him and the other boys, but pray that he can realize that all of the kids here are part of his family.
Here's the baby, Antonio. Antonio cries- a lot. It is kind of like his job. I give him a hard time because I love him, and he is finally starting to like me too. He is the youngest of the original five brothers, but still has a hard time with new people- especially white people. I have been here for two months, and he still doesn't always feel comfortable with me. Pray that this child can grow and develop properly like any other child.

They're all precious but there's just something about that little Daniela. May I have her? I'm only halfway kidding. -Mrs. D.
