Peru family needs a sponsor


This family needs your help.

Miguel Yarleque, 36, and Maria Elena Flores, 30, live in the village of Los Polvorines where St. Monica built a chapel this summer (Santa Monica Capilla). They live in one room with no water or electricity. Miguel earns $3.50 per day selling water.

Their daughter, Alexia, is 2. Her body was burned with hot water a year ago. When she was a baby, a doctor said that she needed surgery because her shoulder was separated from her neck. The parents had no money so could not pay for the surgery. They lost contact with the doctor and no longer know what treatment Alexia requires.
