Veronica, Guadalupe and Alejandro came to the Ranch when Veronica was 9 years old. She had to raise her two youngest siblings since her parents abandoned them. She was found by a neighbor searching trash cans to find food for her brother and sister. Dept. of Social Services asked the Ranch to take them…. And of course they graciously did. (more…)

María Ortiz grew up at the Ranch with her brother Agustin and Sister Lupita. The Ranch got word that Maria’s biological mother was gravely ill. Maria was able to see her mother just before she died. On her death bed, her mother told her that she had a younger brother who had been born with a disability and was placed as a newborn child in a different home.  Maria was 16 years old at this time and had no idea she had another brother in the world.

Diego arrived at the ranch when he was 6 years old.  We've had the honor of caring for him for the past seven years.  It is not often that we have one of our kids return to their family but when it happens it is a joyful reunion.  Diego was reunited with his sweet Grandmother last year and we are so happy for him!  We thank God that we were able to give Diego 7 years of care, support and love when his family just could do so.  Praise God!    

At 24 months old Julia was abandoned in a migrant camp near our ranch.  She was brought to us at Santa Marta and has been a resident ever since... 18 years!  We've had the privilege of watching her grow and mature into a very special young lady who has graduated from high school with a strong desire to serve God in the mission field!  Isn't it amazing to see Gods perfect plan unfold for His children!
