When the Alonzo Family came to Casa Angelina, they had been living with virtually no oversight or care. Their father had abandoned them, leaving them with nothing. And their mother worked as a prostitute in a local bar. They were neglected and often left alone, even though they were very young. Esmeralda also had a severe case of Spina Bifida that manifested in her body with severe seizures whenever her temperature would rise. Before bringing her to Casa Angelina, the judge had ordered doctors to put her on some very serious medication. When she arrived at Casa Angelina, the pastoral staff laid hands on her, anointed her with oil, and believed for her full healing. At her next doctor’s appointment she was fully healed! The doctor could not believe his eyes and took little Esmeralda off of all of her medication. She has been healed ever since that day! We give God all the glory for the rescue and future of this beautiful family!
