My name is Narendra Tappeta. I was born on July17,
1993. I am in 8 th grade. My father died in 1995
due to Tuberculosis. My mother abandoned me and
I do not know her whereabouts. I am at Prema Nilayam,
a boy's hostel at St. Xavier's Nagar, 62 miles from
Kadapa. I am most grateful to Rev. Frank Cimarrusti,
a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago for coming
forward to sponsor me since four years. I am able
to get good education and nutritious food. I am
proud to be the first sponsored child of FCN. I
was so happy to meet Fr. Frank in February 2004.It
was a great experience. Thanks a million to Fr.
Frank and to FCN.

My name is Swarna Latha Yara.
I come from a very poor family. I am affected by
polio. My parents could not educate me. In this
situation FCN came forward to help me. Today I am
able to complete my bachelor’s degree. Now
I am getting trained in book-keeping. I am grateful
to my sponsors, Chuck and Joyce Stone and Tom Chitta
and Dr. Geetha Yeruva and all FCN staff and volunteers
for your assistance. May God bless you all.

My name is Bharath Moyela.
I am a Christmas gift for my parents because I am
born on December 25, 1994. I am very sad to say
that I was born with meningomyelocele. I was operated
in few days. Unfortunately the surgery was not successful
and I am suffering with lot of neurological problems.
For my bad luck I lost my father due to heart attack
in April 2003. Though I have all these problems,
God blessed me with cheerfulness.
Now I am in 5th
grade and my sister is in 2nd grade. My mother is
an unskilled laborer who is looking for work each
day. It was very sad to see my mom struggling to take
care of my medical needs and then to send my sister
and me to school. God heard our prayers and my days
are bright now just because of someone in America
who is helping me through sponsorship. I am and I
will ever be grateful to Rev.
William Zavaski
from the Archdiocese of Chicago for his loving support
for my education. By his generous donation I am able
to go to school and get medical help. Please sponsor
a child and give new life to some one like me, and
the rich blessings are always yours. |

I am ever grateful to Father Bob Hesenkamp and
to all at FCN for brightening my life when my parents
could not educate three of us. Today I am able to
stand on my own due to generosity of Father Bob.
I have completed masters in Physical education and
got a job.

I am Chinnakka Avulu living at St. Xavier’s
home for the Aged, Shantivanam, which is 60 miles
from Kadapa. I am 72 years old. My husband died
38 years ago. I have a son and a daughter who are
day laborers. They are unable to take care of me.
God has brought me to this beautiful home in 2004
built and maintained by Tom Chitta and Dr. Geetha
Yeruva. Sister Lucy takes good care of us. I am
very happy to belong to this great big family. I
am provided with good food, clothing and medical
care. I am most grateful to my sponsors Mary Koeth-Shacklett
and John & Clare McGee. Without your financial
support I would have died long ago. Thank you for
your generous help.
