Cristofer Martinez
Cristofer came to Por Los Niños in November of 1992 out of a desperate situation, living in dire poverty.
Cristofer at 24 months old was not growing properly and was the size of 10 month old. He was unable to
walk or talk. He suffered from Grade I malnutrition, severe weight loss, parasites, scabies and
developmental delays. Because of Cristofer’s illnesses his mother lost her job. A kind member of the
church stepped in to provide her son rice, but it was not enough. Today Cristofer is a bright young man
and an accomplished soccer player. He excels in school, is hard working and is always willing to help.
Cristofer’s biggest goal right now is to learn English.
