Fundraiser Profile

Join me and change lives in Guatemala

My mother and Father both grew up in a little village in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Their childhoods differed greatly from mine, I would say they are incomparable. Their responsibilities entailed routine trips on early mornings to gather water from the village well. Time that could be spent on homework was spent either cooking, cleaning, or working to help with family expenses. They suffered from poverty because of the lack of resources available in the area. The hardships they went through in their childhoods made them understand that they did not want their own children to go through the same. 

I’ve committed to raising $5,000 towards Medical and Impact Missions in Guatemala. With your support we can change lives.
