MEET MARIA AND THIAGO

I traveled to United States in search of making my dreams come true. I had an unexpected pregnancy. I was in a difficult situation having all my family in Colombia, without any support nor resources to move forward. While searching for a place to have an ultrasound God put JMJ in my journey, where I was welcomed with love, and encouraged me with hope to move forward. They did the ultrasounds I needed to successfully continue with my pregnancy. From then on JMJ extended their helping hand both to my son and I, becoming the family that supports me and gives me the guiding light to raise my son. From the bottom of my heart I am grateful for the material, emotional, and spiritual gifts I have received from you, and I thank God every day for this blessing God gave me.

Unfortunately I only had my son’s father’s support during the first three months of pregnancy. From then on I only received humiliation and abuse from him and his family. I felt alone, frustrated, and depressed. I would wake up no longer wanting to fight nor keep living with the bad things that were happening to me, loneliness took over. After my son was born, my life completely changed. I had always asked God for a man to love me all my life, and He sent me Thiago, my son. Since then I have made it with God’s help and JMJ, since they have always been by my side. Days before my JMJ visits, I am happy because when I arrive I feel at home, I feel complete, happy!
