Rodolfo was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, the oldest of four children.. At the age of six he lost his mother, four years later Rodolfo's father died. Being the oldest child Rodolfo, at the age of ten, decided to move to Mexico City to work. He found work primarily in restaurants and on the streets. He met his wife at the age of 19. They were married one year later. Rodolfo is now 35.
He is what all of us would consider a very good family man. Additionally, he is a very humble, gracious, and helpful human being. Life for Rodolfo has been very difficult. He wants to earn enough money to keep his children well fed, and to provide for their education. Rodolfo believes that education is extremely important for his children. Rodolfo was only able to complete 5 years of school due to his parents' death and extreme poverty.
Why $3,000.00? Divided among 6 children, the money would provide $500.00 per child for food, shelter, and education. It's at least a reasonable start. Please help if you are able. Click on "How to Help" for donation information.
