El nino Jose

At the church yesterday, there's was a 7 year old boy named Jose. He gave me a hug and a high five before English class started. He was really eager to learn his shapes and colors. Afterwards, he told me that his home got burned down over the weekend. Some of their homes have no beds, couches, no toys except maybe a soccer ball. However, it's their home. Now, after this fire, their home/shelter is gone. Just when you think it can't get any worse for them, it does. I don't even know if Jose is homeless now or living with another family member. I never would have guessed this happened to him because of his affectionate nature and willingness to learn and show up to class yesterday. Children are so resilient and these hardships affect them differently than adults.
