Hello everyone, my game is Ana and I am helping my cousin raise funds to continue building our church in rural Mexico.

Here is her story:

My name is Mariela Ortiz, and I’m reaching out with all my heart to ask for your support.

Today, I speak to you from a place of deep sincerity… as a young woman with dreams, as part of a community, and as someone who truly believes in faith and unity

In Mohonera de Gudiño, Mexico, we have spent years building our church little by little, with great sacrifice. It hasn’t been easy. Every brick, every step forward, has been possible thanks to people who, even with so little, have given everything with love.

But we still have a long way to go.

We are missing windows, doors, benches… details that may seem small to some, but to us mean finally being able to open the doors of this long-awaited place.

This church is not just a building.

It is where values will be nurtured, where families will come together, where we will find comfort in difficult times and hope when we need it most

Today, I humbly ask for your help.

No matter how much you can give—what truly matters is coming together, being part of something meaningful, and extending a helping hand.

And if you’re not able to contribute financially, sharing this message is also a beautiful way to support us

Help us finish this dream.

Help us build a space that will become a spiritual home for many generations.

Thank you for listening, for feeling with us, and for being part of this story

May God bless you always.
