. . . Arise Children's HomeThe second night they could not bear to put a little boy named Rodrigo back on the streets, so they took him in and Arise Children's Home was born. Rodrigo was 5 years old and by himself on the streets. He had tuberculosis among other medical problems and only weighed 15 pounds. Today Rodrigo is a healthy, vibrant, 15 year old boy in the ninth grade. He is smart, talented and has a wonderful future ahead of him.
