Want to join us in making a difference?  In the Fall of 2017 through Summer of 2018,  with the help of many friends and supporters like you, we delivered significant  support to the needy families and children of Comerio, Puerto Rico to help them recover from the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria on their small mountain home town.  Along the way, for two years in a row, we have participated in the town's "Primer Regalo de Navidad" or "First Christmas Gift" project, which every year delivers a first holiday gift  to the children of Comerio's public middle and elementary schools.  Virtually all the kids attending these small schools in the mountains of Puerto Rico are from financially disadvantaged homes. 

As you can see from the pictures, they touched our hearts with their joy, humility and gratitude in receiving a small gift of joy for the holidays.  This year, we hope to include ipads that we can donate at each school...as a special surprise.....We hope you can join us to this year to support this continuing tradition of bringing joy and cheer to the children of Comerio's schools....

 Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center has graciously agreed to receive all donations for a small administrative fee to support  this campaign.  All net proceeds will be delivered personally by us to the Town of Comerio to fund the gifts delivered to the children.

Any donation YOU can make will help make an impact. THANK YOU in advance, on behalf of the school children of Comerio, for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us. 

Carmen and Evelyn.
