Rafael lives with his parents and two brothers in Mexico.
When Rafael was three, the family left Mexico City and moved to Temoaya in order to start a church in the community. While building the church, the family lived in a tent and various small homes.
The church partnered with Compassion, Rafael was registered, and he built a strong relationship with his sponsors. Rafael received a visit from his sponsors, who have helped the family expand their home so all five family members don’t have to share a bedroom. “Thanks to my sponsors,” says Rafael, “I don’t live in a tent or in tiny place anymore. I now have a room that I share with my brother.”
