This is Michael Angelo and his family. He is the little one on the bottom right. They live in the Philippines, in a shack built over a cemetery. Michael Angelo was sold by his mom to a pimp for $60 who promised he would be a model and bring back a million dollars when he was 18. Thank God a social worker heard about this and got him back, explaining to the mother what would really happen (child sex slave or sold for body parts). My daughters found out about this family and found a way to help them. For around $1500 we purchased supplies to fix their house, buy a pedi-cab for the father, beds, clothes, water, food, and other necessities.

This is our Christmas gift to each other instead of things we don't need. It's really hard when you know there are so many more like Michael Angelo, but if we can help one family at a time, it is a start. If you want to know more about how you can help, send me a PM.
