Kendry Michell Gervasio Rodríguez

Kendry Michell Gervacio Rodriguez is a jolly kid and has lots of friends.  He lives with his mother Wensly Yahayra Rodriguez Francisco and his stepfather. He has a 10 yrs old sister that lives with his grandmother.  His mother is unemployed.  Kendry is 7 yrs old and was born 24th Feb 2003.  He looks much older.

His mother expressed her concerns about his obesity.  He is 7 yrs old and weighs 120 pounds.  He has trouble breathing, and mild diabetes.  She says he needs to lose 50 pounds.  His mother told me his is hyper and cries a lot.  She also told me the kids tease him a lot about his weight.

Kendry goes to school in the afternoons for 3 hours, and is in 2nd grade.  He wants to be a baseball player when he grows up.

Kendry’s house is very small, and the ceiling is very low. It is one room divided into a bedroom and a living area.  They pay 1,700 RD ($47.00 US) for rent.  There is only one bed.  Wensly has done her best to be organized considering she lives in a small space.  She has nice organizers that keep her things in place, even her little garden.  Kendry and Margarita, also in the club, are neighbours.
