Help April's Surf Daughters Thrive: Education & Home Repairs

Donation protected
Help a Widowed Surf Mom of 3 Secure Their Future

Starting Goal: $11,000

Hello, everyone,

My name is April, and I’m the proud mom of three incredible little girls. We are a surf family, born and raised on the beach. My daughters have been surfing since they were just 3 months old, and the ocean is our life. Our surf school (Surfing Culebra) is our primary source of income, and it’s a huge part of who we are.

As the sole provider, I’m working tirelessly to create a safe home and ensure my girls have everything they need, including a good education. But I can’t do it alone.

Your support will help us with:

1. Education Costs: Covering the cost needed for my daughters' schooling this year, so they can continue to learn and grow.

2. Essential Home Repairs: I need to complete critical repairs to make our home safe and generate passive income to support us. These repairs include:
- Sealing our roof to keep us dry and safe.
- Tiling our floors to create a clean and stable environment.
- Installing kitchen cabinets, AC inverters, and a security fence.
- Building a retention wall and finishing our driveway.
- Setting up a small solar system and a water cistern to ensure we have power and water during emergencies.
- Renovating a shipping container to create extra space for apartment, storage and work.

These improvements are crucial for our safety and future stability. They will allow me to generate income if anything happens to my health, ensuring my girls are always provided for.

. I’m raising funds to cover my daughters’ education, which costs about $11,000 annually for all three, and to make critical repairs to our home, which are estimated at $35,000. Additionally, I need $17,000 to set up a shipping container workspace to keep our business going.

Why This Matters:

We’ve faced unimaginable challenges, but the ocean and our love for surfing have kept us grounded. I’m fighting every day to build a secure, stable future for my daughters, so they can continue to grow up in the environment they love.

Your kindness and generosity can help us reach these goals and bring us closer to the security we need.

Thank you for supporting our surf family,
April
