Nelson’s Story, Sponsored Child
When Nelson first came to FAD, he was dirty and unkempt. His mother was very abusive toward him. He had a very hard life. Nelson had anger attacks, cried a lot, and threw things.

MAD doesn’t just meet needs—they build relationships, invest in their community, and share hope. It has been a privilege to walk alongside this ministry and witness the difference they are making one child at a time.
