Nicaragua
Adriana Lopez
Adriana de los Ángeles López.
8 years old.
Currently, she lives with her father and her four siblings, because her mother is one of the thousands of Nicaraguans who are immigrating to the United States through "coyotes" trying to cross the border illegally and still achieve the American dream, hoping to leave behind the economic crises of Nicaragua, but, the cost to pay is also leaving behind their young children.
On a regular basis, Adriana spends most of her time with her older brother (15 years old), since the two little ones are under the care of a neighbor during the day, since their father goes out to work as a loader and driver of a food delivery truck with shifts where he must sleep away from home.
The 4 siblings are taken by this compassionate neighbor to one of the Feeding Centers that are supported by Your Ministry.
For Adriana, it is synonymous of joy, fun, and care, when she comes here.
She tells us that they have had food shortages in their home in the past, so the Feeding Center has served to meet that need.
"I miss my mom, but, I know she is gone because she will help us, and one day we will all be together again."
"I also know that my dad is not with us because he has to work" "He also misses my mom a lot."
The flow of migrants leaving Nicaragua and trying to cross the Rio Bravo (Border with the United States) has become unstoppable; just between March and April of 2022, a dozen of them died in the attempt.
According to the border patrol data, last year 2021, almost 90,000 Nicaraguans tried to cross the border without documents.
We know that there are many Adrianas alone in Nicaragua, waiting to be back again with their fathers or mothers.
Thank you for your continued support.
