Adelene had never had the opportunity to enjoy life like other children as she grew up on a "Rancho" and had to take on much responsability in her growing up years. In her less than a year at Casa de Ninos we have helped her learn to read, know her real name by locating her actual birth certificate, and enjoy her first real Christmas.

Christmas is a very fun time for the children so we have always tried to make it just that for them with gifts, good food and fun activities. We had several children come for Christmas that were children at the Casa many years ago. That is fun for us. We thank you for helping us have a great Christmas. Please remember the Casa kids in the months to come.

God bless you all and have a great New Year.
