Hogar de Ángeles (“Home of the Angels”) is a residential home in Cuenca, Ecuador, supporting children, teens, and young adults with disabilities. Many residents require tube feeding, daily diaper support, and 24 hour care. As many are non verbal and have limited mobility, caregiving is both physically and emotionally demanding. GM is supporting OSSO to expand on site learning and daily activities by upgrading a part time teacher position (3 days per week) to a full time role, with an annual budget of $2,000.

Hogar de Ángeles is a permanent home where children and young adults with disabilities receive the medical attention, dignity, and long-term care they need to truly live, not just survive.
During our visit, we met children who cannot speak, children who require tube feeding, and children whose care routines are constant and demanding. The environment is quiet but never empty. Behind every room is a team carrying out deeply demanding work with patience, skill, and extraordinary compassion.
One moment stayed with us: we met a boy resting in bed, facing multiple serious health challenges. Lorena, who runs the home with her husband, shared how he had been abandoned and left with very little hope. She chose to bring him into Hogar de Ángeles anyway. Because here, every child is someone worth fighting for, and every day of comfort, care, and love matters.
What makes Hogar de Ángeles truly extraordinary isn’t only the level of need, it’s how consistently and professionally the team shows up for these children, every single day.
🩺Medical-care expertise: Staff are trained and experienced in complex daily care—tube feeding, mobility support, and hygiene routines.
.💻Technology-enabled learning: For children who can participate in lessons, the home brings learning on-site with digital tools and dedicated teaching support .
🌟Remarkable staff loyalty: Despite the physical and emotional demands of the work,, many staff members have stayed 10+ years, creating trust, continuity, and a sense of security for the children .
GM is sponsoring OSSO to expand their education and enrichment program by extending the current teacher role from part-time (3 times/week) to full-time, with an annual budget of $2,000.
For children with disabilities, especially those with limited mobility, meaningful daily engagement is not a “nice-to-have.” It’s essential. A full-time teacher helps create consistent structure: learning, sensory activities, play, and human connection. It supports cognitive stimulation, emotional wellbeing, and dignity.
