OUTREACHES - Guatemala - Go back to Meet the kids of Casa Angelina

Maria Fernanda Sapon

Age: 17 Background: Her mother died when she was very young. She has no memories of her mother. She lived with her father who physically, verbally, and emotionally abused her for years. When she was older she left home because she couldn’t take the abuse anymore. She was put into a temporary home for 8 months. Then she was placed in the home of an aunt for 10 months and was abused just as badly in that home. So she asked to be placed in a home because she has a desire to make something of herself. Personal info: “I like to read, learn and talk to others. My favorite color is blue. I want to be a theologian because I want to talk to others about God. And, I also want to be a doctor. My favorite food is pizza and my favorite sport is basketball.”
