Bio

Andy and her brothers José and Carlos were admitted into Por Los Niños in June of 2009. They were appointed to the village by an order from a court judge.

They were living with their mother who has 3 additional children that are older. She is a single mother and was unable to support all 6 children. They were all homeless and living in a borrowed adobe house without a roof or floor. They were all sharing one bed and had no electricity or sanitary facilities. There were drinking water from a faucet behind the house.

When she joined us at Por Los Niños, she was 2 ½ years old and weighed 22 pounds.  She was malnourished and suffered from parasites and chronic diarrhea.

Andy has gained health and energy. She is now a picture of health and a good friend to many of the other children in her house.
