</div>
<div>Mi nombre es Mélida Alfaro y me considero una embajadora de los pequeños negocios, no por profesión, sino por pasión. Como mujer inmigrante, emprendedora y líder comunitaria, he vivido en carne propia lo que significa soñar en grande mientras enfrentas barreras invisibles todos los días.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sé lo que es emprender con miedo, con dudas, con escasez.
</div>
<div>Sé lo que es caminar sola en un mundo que a veces no te entiende ni te apoya.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por eso creé MEE–Viaje al Emprendimiento, un programa sin fines de lucro que va más allá de enseñar cómo montar un negocio.
</div>
<div>Es un espacio seguro, profundo y humano, donde cada persona se reconecta con su esencia, sana sus creencias limitantes, y aprende a liderar desde la autenticidad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En MEE no solo hablamos de finanzas o metas.
</div>
<div>Hablamos del alma.
</div>
<div>De cómo transformar el dolor en propósito.
</div>
<div>De cómo vivir la vida que merecemos, no solo trabajar por sobrevivir.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El año pasado, gracias al apoyo de la Ciudad de San José, 77 emprendedores completaron este programa.
</div>
<div>Este año, aunque ya contamos con 30 nuevos participantes llenos de sueños y determinación, no hemos recibido ningún patrocinio institucional.
</div>
<div>Aun así, decidí seguir.
</div>
<div>Porque no puedo permitir que la falta de recursos detenga un movimiento que ya ha cambiado tantas vidas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Necesitamos reunir un promedio de $790 por participante para hacer posible esta experiencia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy levanto esta campaña con humildad, pero también con una profunda convicción.
</div>
<div>Porque sé que cuando una persona sana, se eleva.
</div>
<div>Y cuando un emprendedor se eleva, transforma a toda su comunidad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con tu apoyo, podremos cubrir materiales, logística, mentorías, actividades y más.
</div>
<div>Cada donación es una inversión en el alma de un emprendedor.
</div>
<div>Cada aporte es una chispa de esperanza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por ayudarme a sostener este sueño colectivo.
</div>
<div>Gracias por creer que el cambio real nace desde adentro.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con gratitud,
</div>

</div>
<div>My name is Mélida Alfaro, and I consider myself an ambassador for small businesses—not by profession, but by passion. As an immigrant woman, entrepreneur, and community leader, I know what it means to dream big while facing invisible barriers every single day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know what it feels like to start a business with fear, with doubt, and with limited resources.
</div>
<div>I know what it’s like to walk alone in a world that doesn’t always understand or support you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why I created MEE–Journey into Entrepreneurship, a nonprofit program that goes far beyond teaching how to start a business.
</div>
<div>It’s a safe, deep, and human space where each participant reconnects with their essence, heals limiting beliefs, and learns to lead with authenticity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At MEE, we don’t just talk about finances or goals.
</div>
<div>We talk about the soul.
</div>
<div>About turning pain into purpose.
</div>
<div>About living the life we truly deserve—not just surviving through work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year, thanks to the support of the City of San José, 77 entrepreneurs graduated from this program.
</div>
<div>This year, while we already have 30 new participants filled with dreams and determination, we have not received any institutional sponsorship.
</div>
<div>Still, I chose to move forward.
</div>
<div>Because I cannot let a lack of funding stop a movement that has already changed so many lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need to raise an average of $790 per participant to make this experience possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I launch this campaign with humility—and deep conviction.
</div>
<div>Because I know that when a person heals, they rise.
</div>
<div>And when an entrepreneur rises, they uplift an entire community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your support, we can cover materials, logistics, mentorship, activities, and more.
</div>
<div>Every donation is an investment in the soul of an entrepreneur.
</div>
<div>Every contribution is a spark of hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping me sustain this collective dream.
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing that true change starts from within.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Mélida Alfaro
</div>
<div>Founder and Director of MEE-Motivating,Educating, Empowering.
