Help Us Bring Joy and Hope to the Children of Yamasa, DR

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters,

As we come together to celebrate the Feast of Saint Anthony of Padua next month (known for his compassion, humility, and love for the poor), we are honored to organize a special charity event in support of Hermanos Guillen’s annual tradition held every 2nd Sunday in June. This sacred celebration is more than a feast; it is a moment to uplift the hearts of the community, especially its youngest and most vulnerable members.

We’re giving local children gift bags filled with symbols of care, hope, and encouragement, reminding every child that they are seen, valued, and loved.:
✏️ School Supplies
Toys
Inspirational materials
Treats and more!
✨ You can help!
Your donation will bring a smile to a child’s face and hope to their heart.
Give now and make this feast day unforgettable.

Hermanos Guillén – June 8, 2025
Celebrating Faith, Culture, and the Future of Our Children

Founded by the visionary Juan Antonio Guillén, this sacred and vibrant festival has become a cherished tradition in Yamasa. Each June, we gather in devotion to Saint Anthony of Padua—patron of the poor and protector of the vulnerable—to honor his legacy through prayer, celebration, and community.

This event is more than a festival; it is a living tribute to who we are. Here, African beats echo through the hills, Taíno heritage comes alive in artisanal crafts and storytelling, and generations unite in dance, faith, and cultural pride. The Guillén Brothers have worked tirelessly to preserve the beauty and strength of our indigenous identity, creating a space where our roots are honored and our voices celebrated.

To make this day truly special, we humbly ask for your generous support. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly help us reach more children with these meaningful gifts and ensure the success of this event.

Together, let us carry forward the spirit of Saint Anthony—sharing blessings, spreading kindness, and planting seeds of hope in the lives of children who deserve every opportunity to thrive.

Donate today and be part of something magical!
