Welcome to Email News: What father doesn’t want the best for his family?

"I think we have a better chance in life." ‌

— Santos Florentino Sorto

Dear,

‌

Will you help families like Santos' with a year end gift today? Santos is an example I look to: a good husband, father and neighbor—the kind of example I want to be for my children and grandchildren.

‌

Santos Florentino Sorto—a farmer in El Salvador—is a family man. But over the past few years, Santos fought a near-losing battle with drought, extreme weather events and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

‌

He and his wife, Sandra Amaya, joined a Project supported by Catholic Relief Services, and learned new ways of cultivating their farm. Sandra joined the project as a promoter, teaching her neighbors what they learned during the training.

Now, Santos cares for their three children. He takes the two oldest to school each day before heading to the farm with his youngest son, Caleb. He says of his wife, "She dedicates time to go and teach her neighbors who are in the project. When she needs my help to look after our smaller child or help her with house chores, I do it so she can go without problems."

‌

Even though he spends most of his day working on the farm, Santos still finds extra time to sell his produce and help his neighbors when they need a hand.

‌

Today, Dear, will you help fathers like Santos take care of their children? Will you help women and men like Sandra and Santos become leaders in their community? Will you help your sisters and brothers have a better chance at life?

‌

Give a tax deductible gift today. Your year end donation will help those making a difference in the lives of their families and neighbors.

Peace and light,
