Birthday: OCTOBER 23, 2009 Sponsorship #: 2023-00-039HC

ALIONISE is a bright 14 year old in the 5th grade at BGM Primary. She lives in the village of Gwo Balans near Galette Chambon with a care giver, her three brothers, and the five other children belonging to her caregiver. Her parents are no longer living, so they live with a care giver that took them in after their parents died. Her older brother is a tap tap driver and he helps support the family with his earnings. There are five other children living in the house besides Alionise and her three brothers. That’s nine young people and one adult living in one small house with very little income to support themselves. Alionise was able to start school this past school year by making a deposit on tuition, but she has not been able to pay anything else. If she doesn’t get a sponsor before September of 2023, she will not be allowed to register for school and she will have to sit out. She prays every day that she can find a sponsor because she wants to one day go to school to learn how to own her own floral buisness. She loves flowers and she loves that rich people give flowers as gifts to their friends. She wants to be the one giving the gift of flowers one day. Alionise loves to help work at her house; she favorite subject in school is mathematics, and she loves to eat and sleep.
