I'm told that he is sick this week and will have to be at home. He is one of the shining lights of the Martincitos program. He lives pretty much alone, but has some help from his family. 

It always takes time to get bugs out...

So Sorry folks, I know it takes a bit of time to learn to use a new program, and I'm still trying to figure this one out. Please keep Trying . Dan and Nora, you should be able to comment now. Everyone else, thanks for your patience.

Amadore and Theofila live in part of their daughter's house. Their daughter acts as if they are not there. Last year through Adopt a Grandparent, we were able to buy roofing materials, and get them installed before the rains came. There are other's in the program that still need roofing. $65.00 buys the materials, and the labor is donated by the neighborhood. 

You can join, too

I've set this up so that you can add your comments and questions to my blog. Please feel free to post you own stuff. Most of you have worked with or know about the Martincitos, so just join in.

This is the Staff of Los Martincitos, each of them donates time, energy and love to Seniors who are alone and desperate. 

Please Bear With Me:

I'm new at this site, and hope to use it to share experiences and photos of my "little grandparents" The elders in Los Martincitos in Villa El salvador. I haven't yet figured out how to post pictures, but I will, and I'll have stories to go with them.

You can already find information at www.adopt-a-grandparent.org, but this space will have current pictures and stories.
