Single Mother, 2 Children
Azul
Reading
Abril and her younger sister Azul are the children of single mother, Uvalda. Abril has been a part of Casa de Luz since the Spring of 2025 when Uvalda came to us asking for help. Her mother was originally only asking for help for Abril’s younger sister but when she found out Abril could be a part of CDL, as well, she was very happy. Before coming to CDL Abril was staying home to care for her little sister while her mom worked and so she wasn’t attending school. Now, with the help of her youth leader, Abril is studying and preparing to enter back into school! Abril loves being a part of La Ola, CDL’s youth mentorship program. She said, “I feel like I can do anything in life now!” Her dream of being able to continue studying is happening and she is so grateful.
