Jesus was 9 years old when he joined the house program provided by the Gifts of Mercy. Before joining the program hes had quit school and was spending time on the streets.
When Jesus first started the program he did not respect the rules and did not want to stay.
The team persisted and little by little he began to realise that the Gifts of Mercy team were working solely for his welfare.
The turning point came when he was admitted to a new school and he actually started enjoying subjects, most notably mathematics.
Jesus' attitude has totally shifted, he is among the highest achievers at school and he has a new found respect for the Gifts of Mercy team. Importantly Jesus has been able to repair his relationship with his mother. Jesus learned values, the importance of eating well, respect for his body and others and today he is a much happier child.
Jesus is now excited about the future and is studying towards his goal of becoming a scientist or pilot.
