Abraham
Abraham was carried into Dorie’s Promise as an infant in the arms of his older sister. Since then, he’s grown into the goofy and fun-loving boy who lights up our home. He’s always ready to dance, play soccer, or make people laugh with his silly faces and jokes.
Birthdate: February 24th
Siblings: Aracely, Ana, Maria

Alejandra
The shy 9-year-old Alejandra we first met has matured into a confident, sweet young woman. She’s still funny and talkative, but she’s also determined to succeed and focused on who she wants to become. Alejandra is the perfect mix of a fun friend, a protective “big sister” to our little girls, and a responsible young woman.Birthdate: January 15th

Ana
Ana is the quiet middle child. Having been with us since she was 5 years old, she has cemented her place as one of our most studious children. She loves to read and works hard to get the highest grades in her classes. Ana is focused on attending college in a few years.

Brayan
Having been at Dorie’s Promise since he was 3, Brayan has grown up with us. He’s currently studying culinary arts and preparing to launch into the next phase of life. Brayan fills the role of “big brother” to everyone in our home and is becoming quite handy as he works with our maintenance staff around the houses.

Consuelo
Consuelo came to Dorie’s Promise after an unfortunate series of moves in her young life. Although she is separated from her sisters (who are also in care elsewhere), she is starting to find her place in our home and become a more content and confident young lady. We’re hopeful about Consuelo’s continued growth and comfort.

Mario
Mario came to Dorie’s Promise when he was only 1 week old. Very early on, Doc Castro diagnosed him with Tourette’s syndrome. He’s made huge progress over the last few years, especially in learning situations. With the help of teachers, he’s reading, writing, and becoming more confident. Don’t let his shyness fool you, Mario is a fun-loving boy with a big heart.
Birthdate: April 30th

Marta
Determination is what drives Marta’s success. Her transition to Dorie’s Promise at 7 years old was difficult in part because she was behind in school. When she decides to do something, she’s successful. Marta worked hard to get caught up in school. She’s a great friend to our other kids and a fantastic example of what’s possible with hard work.
Birthdate: January 6th

Myra
From the moment she came to Dorie’s Promise just shy of her 15th birthday, Myra has been focused on her future. Losing her mother compels Myra towards helping others. Her dedication and empathy show in all she does. Currently, she’s working hard in school and putting the pieces in place for a future career where her passion and skills connect.
Birthdate: October 26th

Nayeli
Nayeli came to us as an adorable 2-year-old with beautiful curls. She’s since grown into a confident, intelligent young woman. Not one to be in the spotlight, she often slips to the edges of a crowd unless we’re playing something like soccer or laser tag. In class and on the playing field, Nayeli is a star. Her teachers often describe her as a natural leader.
Birthdate: August 9th

Santiago
You never really know what Santiago is thinking or planning. He has a wry smile that quite often means he’s contemplating something mischievous. He and Sebastian have been the dynamic duo since they were both very young. We love the way their laughter and silliness brighten our days.
Birthdate: January 3rd

Sebastian
Sebastian loves to be the center of attention. He and Santiago are some of the first kids to greet guests to Dorie’s Promise. He’s silly, loud, and full of little boy antics. He’s also the very much loved little brother of Isaias and his motherly sister Sofia.
Birthdate: September 16th
Siblings: Isaias and Sofia

Sofia
From the moment she came to Dorie’s Promise, Sofia has been a perfect fit in the little girl club. She loves have Elizabeth and Suleika to pal around with. They dance, tumble, dress up, and boss around the little boys. Sofia is a bright little girl and we’re excited to watch her grow in school.
