Fany, 17, lives with her grandmother, Argelia, and sister, Rosa, in Copán Ruinas, Honduras. Their family has faced many challenges.
“My grandmother makes tortillas to sell in the neighborhood,” says Fany. (The small amount her grandmother makes is the family’s only income.) “It’s how we get money for things like medicine,” Fany says. “But it’s not enough for everything we need. Despite everything, my grandmother has always been there to help.”
Grandmother Argelia adds: “Sometimes there’s no work, and it’s hard to make ends meet. But we are joyful.” With the help of Fany’s sponsor, “we have seen a change that has taken place in our family. I pray for her and feel grateful,” says Argelia. “Friends like her are not easy to find.”
