She is from the department of Suchitepéquez, studies at the Scheel Center in 4th grade. She lives with her step-father, mother, and six siblings. Her father passed away a few years ago in a car accident while returning home.
Since then her mother maintains the family working as a day laborer or cleaning houses. They moved to the town of La Rinconada, Jocotenango where they are provided with housing and the mother receives a salary to help on a plantation. Since moving her mother has dedicated herself to looking for help for her children so that they can study. Her siblings study in different schools but she was given the opportunity to study at the Scheel Center where she receives breakfast and lunch, medical and dental care among other things.
She has had psychological problems since the death of her father and she has not been able to overcome them so the project also helps her and the rest of her family with counseling regularly. Her mother also receives vegetables and her siblings sometimes receive clothes.
Thanks to the help of the God’s Child Project the life of the family is improving and she is overcoming the problems that affected her.
