Jaymar is a 5th grade student and excels in Math and English. During his free time he helps his mother with chores and plays with his friends. He comes to LCP every Sunday to attend Sunday school praising and worshiping God. They have Bible at home and a small Bible which he carries to LCP every Sunday.

Their house has bamboo walls and floors and the roof is tin and coconut leaves but they do not own the house. They have electricity and water. Some of the roof needs repair because it has holes in it. The bamboo floor also needs to be repaired. Jaymar's parents both work and the family needs help with Jaymar's education. Often, he goes to school with no lunch money and delayed submission of school projects. Finding help with Jaymar's education will give him an opportunity to pull out of the grips of poverty and help his family. Please help support Jaymar as he wishes to become a nurse someday and perhaps a doctor.
