My Story

Jesus and his older brother Adrian are the children of single Mother Susana. Jesus' Mom Susana came to Casa de Luz asking for help in the winter of 2020, after she separated from her husband and had no one to care for her children while she worked. In 2022 Jesus was diagnosed with cancer and CDL walked alongside his family through his surgery and treatments. Sadly, one of his eyes needed to be removed, but we are so thankful that he is now cancer-free! Since coming to CDL, Susana and her sons have finally found the stability that they so desperately needed in their lives. When we interviewed Susana and gave her the news that her children would be accepted into Casa de Luz, she was overwhelmed and cried tears of thankfulness! We are so thankful that Susana and her sons are part of the CDL family. Please pray for them that God would heal their hearts from all they've been through, and that Jesus would thrive amidst the loving, supportive environment at CDL.
