Three years ago, I embarked on a journey that would forever change my life and the lives of a small group of kids in Kigali, Rwanda. It started with just eight kids—curious, bright-eyed, and full of dreams despite the challenges surrounding them. I wanted to offer them more than just assistance, I wanted to empower them to realize their potential.

As the months turned into years, our little community grew. Today, we have 14 children, each with their unique story and aspirations, Together, we’ve created a safe space for learning, living and support.

With the holiday season approaching, I want to celebrate their progress with a special Christmas event. It’s not just about the festivities; it’s about giving these children a moment to shine, to feel valued, and to know they are part of something bigger, of a community that’s growing with them and through them.

I am reaching out to those of you who are willing to contribute with any financial support that will help making this event a memorable one. Your contributions will go directly towards creating an experience that these children will cherish—a day filled with joy, gifts, and the warmth of community.

Together, we can touch their hearts and show them that they are seen, loved, and supported.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in their lives this Christmas,

Carmen
