Meet 6-Year-Old Khalessi
Khalessi’s life changed the day Pastor Maria knocked on her door and invited her to join Compassion’s program. For her grandmother, Crecencia, it was a prayer answered. In their small, crowded home in Piura, they’d struggled to make ends meet — and fear about Khalessi’s health weighed heavily.
“I worry about Khalessi,” Crecencia shares. “She is too thin. I’m sure she has parasites. We could use some help.”
But when the new Compassion center opened, hope arrived — welcoming Khalessi and 150 other children from Piura into the program. Now, with access to medical care, nutritious meals and a faith-filled community, Khalessi’s family sees a future bursting with promise.
“God is in the middle of this,” says Veronica, the center director. “He will give us the strength we need, and he will bless the work we do. The children will be discipled, loved, known and cared for. I know this work will change their lives.”
