Hi, I’m Lorena, and my roots lie deep in the vibrant heart of the Dominican Republic. Every year, I return home with one mission in mind:

To uplift, to inspire, and to show children that they are worthy of joy, possibility, and love.

This isn’t just charity; it’s a legacy. A soul-led mission to plant hope where it’s most needed.

And this year, I’m inviting you to be part of something extraordinary.

The Mission for 2025: A Day of Light at Iglesia Casa De Vida

This holiday season, I’ve partnered with Iglesia Alianza Cristiana y Misionera Casa De Vida in Santo Domingo, where we’ll be hosting a full day of joy for 135 beautiful children.

These are children growing up in environments with limited resources, but unlimited potential. With your help, we’ll offer them not just a gift, but a memory that stays with them forever.

✨ What We’re Creating Together

On Saturday, November 29th, we’re bringing the magic of the holidays to life.

Here’s what your support will bring to life:

• A Warm Welcome – Breakfast and lunch prepared with love to nourish both body and spirit.

• Gifts for Every Child – Thoughtful presents for all 135 kids, so not one child is left out.

• Moments of Wonder – We’re bringing in magicians, entertainers, and games to spark imagination and laughter.

• Transformation Through Art – Face painting and artistic expression to make each child feel celebrated.

• Surprises & Sparkle – A few secret touches we won’t spoil here — but know this: they’ll feel the love.

And most importantly, I’ll be speaking with them, sharing stories of resilience, reminding them that where they are now does not define where they can go.

Why It Matters

This is more than a party. It’s a message to 135 children:

“You are seen. You are remembered. You are loved.”

Many of these kids have never experienced a day like this, where they are the focus, the celebration, the joy.

This project is about restoring childhood, even just for one day. And the ripple effect? It’s immeasurable.

Let’s Do This, Together

With gratitude,

Lorena
