Today’s situation

Casa de Esperanza is a home in Manzanillo, Mexico, for young men under 18 who are suffering from drug and/or alcohol addiction, led by Iain and Sheila Crofton Briggs.

Once the boys are 18 they have to leave the house. Please pray for how the Casa de Esperanza team can look after them once they leave.

Today’s restoration story - Brandon (above)

Iain Crofton Briggs writes:

Brandon came to us aged 13. His mother had died several years before and he was struggling at home and resorting to drugs to cope. He has an older brother with cerebral palsy and he was the main carer. However, the relationship with his father became so bad that the authorities took him away from the situation. He has really responded to being in a loving family environment.

He has celebrated his 14th birthday recently. For Christmas and New Year 2021 he spent with us and our five-year-old grandson. It was a fun time.

Although he does not love education he is changing and doing better. He has now been with us for four months.
