Support the 8th Grader from Naples Christian Academy on a Mission Trip to Peru!

Hello, friends, family, and amazing supporters! We’re Nick Maggio, and Rhina D. proud parents of two incredible 8th graders at Naples Christian Academy in Naples, Florida. We’re thrilled to share that Nick and his son, Luca, along with my son, Christian, another fellow student Joseph and two other teachers have an awesome opportunity to have their 8th grade class on a mission trip to the Cusco Andes Mountains in Peru with Living Mission Peru this May (www.livingmissionperu.org/cusco.html). We’ve launched this GoFundMe to help make this trip a reality for Christian, Joseph, Luca, and two other teachers and we’re asking for your support to hit our $7,500 goal to cover their expenses.

Through Living Mission Peru, Nick, Luca, Christian, Joseph and two other teachers will team up to bring hope to the indigenous Quechua people in the stunning Andes. Based in Cusco—the historic core of the Inca Empire—this mission shares the love of Jesus Christ through Bible teaching, kids’ ministry, construction projects, and community outreach. They’ll work side-by-side with local partners in a region where only 4% of 1.2 million people know Jesus, spreading kindness and making a lasting impact one small act at a time.

At Naples Christian Academy, we’re dedicated to raising kids like Christian and Luca who can change the world with faith and compassion. This trip is a huge step in that direction, but it comes with costs—travel, lodging, supplies, and more. Nick’s sharing this fundraiser on his Facebook, and I (Rhina) am spreading the word across our networks too. Your donation will help Luca, Christian, Joseph and two other teachers to serve others, grow in faith, and experience the joy of giving back. Imagine the difference: your generosity could brighten a child’s day in Peru, support a family, or spark hope in a community that needs it most.

We’re aiming to raise $7,500, and we’d be so grateful for anything you can give—$5, $20, or whatever feels right. Please donate today and share this link with anyone who might want to help us send Christian, Joseph, Luca, and two other teachers to Peru with Nick. Together, we can show the people of Cusco they’re not forgotten—and that two young hearts from Naples, guided by faith, can make a big difference. Thank you so much for supporting our boys on this incredible journey!
