WATCH Joni’s House is a Lifeline for Mother with Two Disabled Sons
From: Peter Wooding
Esmerelda’s pregnancy was typical and uneventful, but while carrying her son, she was a victim of domestic violence. Esmerelda worried that the abuse she suffered at her husband’s hand would cause their new baby to be born with a disability.
At five months, Kevin was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. When their second son Jairo was born five years later, he was also diagnosed with a disability. Esmerelda’s husband quickly abandoned their family and she struggled to meet her sons’ growing needs as a single mom.
How could she ever afford two wheelchairs and physical therapy when she can barely put food on the table? Trusting God to care for their needs, Esmerelda discovered Joni’s House El Salvador and the help only God’s family could give.
