Carlos is an adorable child. He is quiet, curious, and loves his House Father Edgar very much.

Bio

Carlos and his siblings Andy and José 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. They were drinking water from a faucet behind the house.

When he joined us at Por Los Niños, he weighed only 16 pounds.  He was malnourished and suffered from parasites and a respiratory infection.

Carlos has gained health and energy. He is very quiet, but watches the world around him with wonder.
