Adanu, 19 and her younger sister Yordanos, 16, live with their father, Michael, who has been raising them on his own since their mother passed away 7 years ago. Though their family story has been complex, there is a strong sense of connection. Michael remains close with his extended family, and the girls are growing up surrounded by people who care for them.

Adanu is now in college and hopes to pursue a career in medicine or mental health, while Yordanos is in 8th grade and dreams of becoming a designer. Their father works as a day laborer when he can, but income is inconsistent, and they will soon need to find a new home. Even with these challenges, Michael is committed to providing for his daughters and creating a better future for them. Sponsorship helps ease the financial pressure and allows this family to keep moving forward with hope and stability.
