RUTH: S1086-GBA

Ruth is 10 years old and currently in the second grade. She lives with her stepfather after her mother abandoned her following their separation. Her stepfather, who is already supporting 12 other family members, struggles to meet the financial demands of providing for everyone and is unable to send Ruth to school consistently. Despite these challenges, Ruth remains hopeful for a brighter future and is grateful for every opportunity to attend school. Sponsored by: Nancy Lind
