Melisa lives with her mother and two siblings in a small, single-room rental. Her father abandoned the family when she was very young—so young that she doesn't even remember what he looks like. Since then, her mother has worked tirelessly as a cook in a small restaurant, but her meager income is not enough to meet the family's basic needs or cover school fees.

In search of a better future for her children, Melisa's mother turned to CARITAS For Children for help. Through this support, Melisa was able to attend school, and her life began to change for the better. Sadly, her sponsorship recently ended.

Melisa is a bright and hardworking student with a strong desire to become a police officer one day. With assistance, she can return to school and continue pursuing her education and dreams. Your support could help her take the next step toward a brighter, more secure future.
