My Story

Matias is the only child of single mother, Yessica. Matias' favorite color is orange, and he loves everything to do with dinosaurs! Matias' Mom Yessica came to Casa de Luz asking for help in the winter of 2021 after she separated from her husband. Yessica had been unable to find anywhere safe to leave her son, so she was working very limited hours and struggling to make ends meet. Yessenia told us that her goal is "to be the best example that I can to my son, and to always offer him unconditional support." We are so thankful that God has given us the opportunity to partner with this family, and we are excited to see all that God is going to do in and through them.
