Clarissa and Steve Chase of  Beach added one to their family the past 10 months. Debanhy Arriaga, a 16-year-old from Mexico, has been attending Seabreeze High School and living with the Chase family.

“It doesn’t cost anything, but a bed, three meals a day and treating them as a member of the family,” Clarissa Chase said.

Debanhy will be returning to her home in June, but the Chase’s have already applied for another student from Germany.

Anyone interested in becoming involved can go online to http://www.iseusa.org or contact Chase at [email protected].
