Story
I am reaching out with a special request for a special young boy in our community. He’s 12 years old, full of curiosity and hope, and he’s eager to learn Spanish — not just as a language, but as a lifeline to his identity and his family.
This child is Latino, and his older brothers speak fluent Spanish. Sadly, due to being removed from his family’s home at a young age, he never had the chance to learn the language they share. He's now in foster care, navigating a world of change and uncertainty. But despite all he's been through, he wants to learn — not just for himself, but so he can truly connect with his siblings and his heritage.
We’re looking for a Spanish-speaking volunteer from the community who could meet with him once a week — either in his placement home or in a local public space — to help him begin learning conversational Spanish. No teaching degree or formal experience needed — just patience, kindness, and a willingness to show up.
You would be making a powerful impact. For this child, Spanish isn’t just a language — it’s a bridge home. A way to feel less alone. A way to remember that he belongs.
If you or someone you know could offer a little time, a big heart, and some Spanish conversation each week, please reach out. Your presence could mean the world to one very deserving kid.
💛 Gracias, from all of us who believe in second chances and stronger connections.
