Jonathan's life is hallmarked by tragedy, however he has always been able to depend on his mother. She remains a resilient figure in their household, tirelessly working to provide for their family's essential needs. She dedicates herself to cultivating a small plot of land, ensuring that they have enough food to sustain themselves. Any surplus from their harvest is sold to generate income which she can use toward Jonathan's education.

Jonathan's father passed away when he was very young due to an illness of uncertain origin. This unfortunate event left the family in a one-room dwelling, where mother and son share a single bedroom. Life for them has become increasingly difficult, marked by financial constraints that force them to frequently skip meals.

Despite these challenges, Jonathan holds tight to his aspirations of becoming a mechanic. However, the family's financial circumstances make consistent attendance at school a struggle. Jonathan's mother has reached out to CARITAS For Children with the hope that Jonathan can receive the financial help he needs to allow him to stay in school, ultimately leading him closer to his dream of becoming a skilled mechanic.
