<div>Would you join me in making an extraordinary difference in the life of Guadalupe “Lupita” Azar Musalem—a woman whose courage and grace have inspired so many?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I met Lupita as a child in Mexico City, through her older sister, my best friend. From the very start, I admired Lupita’s tenacity and infectious positivity. Born with arthrogryposis, a rare condition limiting joint and muscle development, Lupita faced incredible challenges. Yet with every difficulty, she responded with laughter, creativity, and resilience—writing with a shoelace and embracing life with joy. Her loving Lebanese-Mexican family gave her strength, but it is Lupita’s own determination that continues to inspire all who know her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, Lupita lives in the United States, works full-time, and shows the same independence and kindness she always has. Yet recently, she became the victim of a fraudulent scam, one that destroyed her credit and left her with $15,000 in debt she never created. Despite working 40 hours each week, her basic expenses and this false burden make it impossible for her to buy a safe, ADA-accessible home—a lifelong dream.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lupita wants you to hear her story in her own words:
</div>
<div><strong> “I was born in 1963 in Mexico City. I have two sisters and one brother. I was born with a disability called arthrogryposis, which is caused by a lack of amniotic fluid in the womb. I was one in a million.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong> I was fortunate to have a doctor named Eduardo Luque, who helped me overcome so much and become physically the person I am today. </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>I come from a family of Lebanese descent, all very close and united, thanks to God. A person with a disability faces so many obstacles in life, but with the help of friends and family, I have been able to jump over many of them.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong> I remember how much I enjoyed it when my siblings brought their friends over because we all played together. One time we were running around, and my sister’s friend Marcela was pushing me in my wheelchair, but we both fell down. My mother was very upset because I had just had surgery on my arm.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>We, people with disabilities, have many dreams and goals we want to achieve, but often because of our condition or the people we encounter, we cannot reach them. I married a man I loved very much, and I believe he loved me too but he had a serious problem, he was an alcoholic. He is now in heaven.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>I was unfortunately scammed by a company that turned out to be fraudulent. After approximately three months without seeing any improvement in my accounts, I realized that I had been scammed. Since then, it has become increasingly difficult to make my payments, it's impossible for me to catch up on my debt.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>I tried to fix my credit so I can buy my own home, but to pay off my credit cards I need to cover about $15,000. That is very difficult for me, and even though I work 40 hours per week, I just cannot make enough.</strong>”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lupita’s story is one of courage, perseverance, and hope. Her lifelong dream is a small, accessible home—a space where she can live with independence and peace. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings Lupita closer to that dream and helps her overcome an injustice that no one should face alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If Lupita’s story moves you, please consider donating or sharing this campaign. Together, we can show that community, kindness, and fairness are stronger than any challenge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt appreciation ,  
</div>
