Her family was poor and her mother was confined to a wheelchair. This is the reason she wanted to become a doctor. Anita was always very dedicated to her mother.

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.

FAD has completely transformed the life of this young boy. At the end of 2025, he came forward and accepted Jesus as his Savior. FAD has been working with his mother to be a better mom.
