Hi, I'm John James
I'm a boy, 9 years old and live in Southeast Asia.
The child was selected for Holt sponsorship due to the economic condition of the family. His mother was a solo parent who worked as an all-around maid at Pangasinan. However, due to the small compensation that his mother had from her work, she was earning 6,000 per month. The mother found the situation difficult, which led her to temporarily leave her child with her aunt, who has a small 'lapida’ business. Meanwhile, despite the fact that her auntie has her own small business, it is still difficult for them to support and provide the needs of the child, particularly when it comes to school expenses. Hence, Holt's sponsorship will really be a big help for his parents to lessen the burden of expenses.
