My Story

Alessa is the daughter of single mother Abi and has been attending CDL since the winter of 2021. Alessa is a very gentle and friendly little girl. She is very much a 'girly-girl.’  She loves the colour pink and she loves playing with dolls. Alessa's Mom Abi came to Casa de Luz asking for help after she separated from her husband. Abi was working two jobs to provide for her daughter and had no one to care for Alessa while she worked. When we interviewed Abi and gave her the news that her daughter would be accepted into Casa de Luz, she was overwhelmed with thankfulness! 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. Since that time, CDL has also supported Abi with an Educational Scholarship so that she can obtain her master's in special education! 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.
