Adopting Underprivileged Families in Sri Lanka
Family of St. Monica
This family that the Apostolate sponsors has two children. The father has left the family. The daughter is extremely talented and has won many medals and certificates for her excellence in studies and sports. The son was not present during my visit. They live under terrible conditions, as you can see. The mother works odd jobs to bring home bread and butter. Her income barely makes ends meet.
Family of St. Peregrine
The father of the family is suffering from brain cancer. The mother goes out to earn bread and butter, while the two daughters do what they can to help their bedridden father while they attend school.
Most of the money we provide goes toward his medication and supplements. The mother’s job does not provide enough to cover the family’s basic needs.
Family of St. Anthonys
We are thrilled to share the heartwarming news that a pair of anonymous donors has graciously agreed to adopt a struggling Sri Lankan family, ensuring they have the resources needed for a stable and supportive life. This generous couple will be providing ongoing financial support to cover the living expenses of the family. The head of the household works as a janitor, while the wife is a stay-at-home mother. Despite their financial hardships, their oldest child has recently received a scholarship to St. Anthonys Convent in Katugastota, Kandy, offering them a glimmer of hope amidst their challenges. This scholarship not only provides educational opportunities but also introduces the family to the Catholic faith, enriching their lives with its teachings.
Anonymous Donor
Another anonymous donor has generously adopted a young girl and her brother who recently lost their father to illness. With their mother unemployed, they endure numerous hardships on a daily basis. Despite these challenges, the young girl continues her education at Good Shepherds Convent in Kandy, where she is among the underprivileged children accepted with the aim of evangelization. Through the generosity of the anonymous donor, this family receives much-needed support to navigate their difficult circumstances.
St. Joseph
Our Mother of Hope Apostolate is pleased to announce that we have adopted our 3rd underprivileged family in Sri Lanka.
This is a young father who is trying to make ends meet after his wife left him with the two children. Due to lack of educational qualifications, he is unable to acquire a well paying job. Hence, he does odd jobs around town to survive. He has built up a reputation as a honest hardworking man in the community. This family also shares in our Catholic faith.
We will be remitting $100 per month, starting from this month of February 2025, to assist with their basic needs.
Each family receives $100/month
