Our Mission
A faith-based organization, uplifting women and children to discover the light of Christ within them. Our mission is to share the Gospel and shine His light into the lives of those in need by offering hope, food, shelter, education, and emotional support.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where the love of Christ restores every woman and child — where children grow in strength, wisdom, and faith, equipped with education and care, and empowered to walk boldly in the purpose God has for them. A world where women are safe, supported, and unshakably rooted in their identity in Christ — living fearlessly, guided by His truth, and empowered through His Spirit.

Growing up in Grandma’s house, I witnessed the love of Christ through her hands. She gave freely, even when she had little, always trusting God to provide. Her selflessness inspired me deeply. It showed me that serving others isn’t just a calling — it’s my purpose, rooted in faith and love.
Let’s rewind a bit… I grew up in Ecuador; homeless kids are not hard to find. You should have seen my mom’s face when I brought my first homeless kid home. As a teenager, I got involved in beauty pageants. Yes, dressing up and traveling was fun! But that wasn’t the most important reason I was part of it. Those pageants gave me the opportunity to help many kids in need, which filled my soul. I saw so much pain, need, and neglect; I knew one day, I had to do something to make a difference in the quality of their lives. They were content with some basic groceries, diapers, and goodie bags, but they needed more, much more.
After becoming a mom, I thought that dream had to be put on hold for a long while. I couldn’t travel the world helping kids in need when I had my own little kids that needed me. I thought that one day after all my babies went to college I would devote all my time and energy to making my long-time dream happen.
Well… 2020 happened. The pandemic made things so much more challenging for people that were already struggling. Friends and family in Ecuador had people knocking on their doors asking for leftovers. They stood there with their babies, desperate to feed their families. Many organizations and shelters stopped getting funding so they couldn’t provide much relief either.
It was then that I realized I couldn’t wait 15 more years until my kids were in college. I had to do something now. I was able to collect donations from several generous people, and I included funds of my own, to send aid to a children’s home and a senior assistance program that had been impacted drastically. We have continued to help them since, and I knew that I could do more. I channeled this inspiration into founding this nonprofit organization.
