Corazon de Ninas - CRITICAL NEED -VIRUS IMPACT
Donation protected
THANK YOU
As we face our global health crisis, we want to take time to say “thank you” for being a supportive friend of your Corazon de Niña family. Because of you, we are able to shelter and transform the lives of over 100 girls and boys, from hopeless victims to self confident independent adults. Despite all that is happening, the children are thankfully all healthy and upbeat at this time. We are not going anywhere except shopping and/or Medical appointments at this time.
KEEPING OUR FAMILY SAFE
In order to keep our home and children safe from Covid19, we are taking all precautions seriously and joined together to keep our family healthy, prioritizing cleaning, disinfecting, sanitizing and personal hygiene within the home in all areas. We have huge sanitation expenses (including installation of additional hand sanitizer units, more anti-bacterial gel and soap of every kind in efforts to step up hygiene in the house, face masks, gloves, Vitamin C, Oil of Oregano and Eucaliptus, MORE Vitamin C enriched fruit).
At this time, no one is showing any signs of sickness, but should this change, we will follow our strict protocols to separate, and treat individuals with professional diagnoses and recommended treatments..
Although we do not like to admit it, today we are feeling particularly vulnerable. We are concerned that the problem that may be bigger than the virus itself will be be the fact that thousands of people have been laid off and there is NO GOVERNMENT PLAN OR SUPPORT IN PLACE to help them with FOOD. People will do whatever it takes to feed their families. Businesses are boarded up and people have already been approaching us asking for food. We are putting extra locks on the doors this week and using extra caution when leaving the house.

CRISIS IMPACT
Corazon de Niña receives no government aid and is solely dependent on private donations, fundraising tours and events which were cancelled early this year creating a significant shortfall in our annual income. In addition, we are experiencing negative Covid affects with cancellations of some major monthly support, including diminishing fresh food donations. The tripling of our annual Health Insurance premiums has meant we were unable to renew. Where we would normally have a savings for this sort of eventuality - this year we do not which is why we really need your help.
AVERAGE MONTHLY COSTS
Feeding the family: $ 70,000 pesos
Clothes and shoes: $ 35,000 pesos
Cleaning & personal hygiene: $ 30,000
Utilities: $ 35,000 Pesos
