Maya Therapy Clinic-School to be built July 29, Guatemala :)

I find myself in Guatemala again, excited to bring love and hope to a beautiful community. My time with Kathy Price and Mission of Love feels like a series of unfolding miracles. We were on a mission not just to build structures but to create hope and opportunity. We dedicated ourselves to constructing a schoolhouse and clinic for a village in dire need. This wasn’t just about bricks and mortar; it was about providing a lifeline for those with disabilities, offering them access to crucial care and education that could transform their futures.

The beauty of the local people and their profound love for life left a lasting impression on me. Despite facing daily hardships, they exuded a remarkable resilience and gratitude that made me reflect on how often we take our blessings for granted. Their appreciation for even the simplest joys highlighted a stark contrast to the everyday concerns we might overlook back home. Each interaction was a powerful reminder of the value of gratitude and the strength of the human spirit.

One day stands out vividly in my memory—spending time at the Mission of Love clinic in Tecpan. There, elderly individuals and children with disabilities received the therapy and care they otherwise might not have had access to. Witnessing the impact of Kathy’s unwavering dedication was truly humbling. I’m in awe of how one person can accomplish so much and possess such a massive heart. Kathy’s work not only transforms lives but also inspires others, including me, to embrace compassion and empathy as guiding principles in our own lives.

Peace & Love

Flying in on July 31st, I was filled with excitement and ready to dive into the work ahead!

It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since I first joined the Mission of Love with Kathleen Price. What an incredible journey it has been! The Mission of Love, founded by Kathleen Price, stands as a beacon of hope and support for communities in need. Its reputation for delivering aid and making a tangible difference is well-earned, no matter the weather or circumstances. Being part of this organization has profoundly changed my life. The opportunity to meet people, work alongside them, witness their smiles, and help them get back on their feet has given me a fresh perspective on the world. It humbles me and fills me with pride to know I’ve made a positive impact on so many lives.

This past year, Kathy and Jonatan have been tirelessly working on an exciting new project aimed at supporting the underserved community of Tecpan. In August, Kathleen Price, myself, and five others traveled to Tecpan, Guatemala, to break ground on a new school and clinic, laying the foundation with Jonatan and his family. Day after day, hundreds of people visit the local clinics, often waiting for hours, with many unable to receive the care they desperately need. Alongside this, many lack access to education and support that we often take for granted in the United States. This new facility will provide much-needed medical treatment, educational opportunities for children with special needs, and overall support for the people of Tecpan for years to come.

Despite the sweltering heat, our crew and I worked diligently to dig the trenches and establish the foundation for the new facility. In the United States, digging a few trenches can take minutes, but by hand, creating four- and five-foot deep trenches stretching tens of meters took hours of hard labor. The effort was immense, but witnessing the growing number of people volunteering their time to help build the school and clinic was incredibly inspiring. The dedication of Kathy and Jonatan, along with the community’s collective effort, was truly remarkable. The Mission of Love has been a source of hope for communities worldwide for decades, and working with Kathy to support the amazing people in Guatemala has been a deeply cherished experience.

As we completed the first week of construction, the progress in Guatemala continues to be shared with us, and we are grateful for the updates. To Kim, Taylor, Tiffany, Little Tiff, Matt, Jonatan, Julio, Andres, and everyone who contributed their time and resources to support this cause, and especially to Kathleen Price for her unwavering dedication over the past thirty-plus years—thank you! Together, we’ve made children smile, brightened the world for their community, and achieved what many only read about.

Let’s take pride in the work we’ve accomplished and keep the kindness in our hearts. As Kathy always says, we aren’t here to save the world, but to help those whose hands are within our reach.

Sincerely,

Ashton Kemp

July 29 our Mission of Love Volunteers will be departing Cleveland, Ohio to Tecpán, Guatemala. We will meet with our Maya Mission of Love Volunteers to start the construction of a Maya school/clinic on donated land. Would you consider donating via our GoFundMe page to accomplish a goal to support the Maya disabled and challenged Maya children with a larger building.

Mission of Love Foundation, Extending Hope Across Continents

Welcome to Mission of Love – a beacon of hope that transcends borders and brings aid to those in need, regardless of where they are. Since 1989, Founder Kathleen Price has led Mission of Love as a non-profit organization, solely run by dedicated volunteers, with a focus on both Indigenous and international communities. Our commitment to service has remained steadfast over the years, driven by the belief that everyone deserves love and support, especially during times of hardship.

From the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to the heartbreak of 9/11, from the conflict in Ukraine to the struggles faced by the Lakota Native American Reservation, from the villages of India where aid was provided to Mother Teresa for those with leprosy to the plains of Africa, Mission of Love has been there, extending a helping hand and spreading love.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide essential humanitarian aid, support, and love to individuals and communities facing adversity. Whether it's rebuilding homes destroyed by natural disasters, offering medical assistance to those in remote areas, providing food and clean water to communities in crisis, or empowering individuals through education and skill development, supporting orphanages, children with cancer, our Mission of Love is committed to making a positive impact wherever we go.

As part of our ongoing humanitarian efforts, on August 1st, we have an ambitious plan: to establish a school with a clinic that focuses on physical therapy and education for children with disabilities. This initiative aims to provide specialized care and education to vulnerable children and adults, ensuring they receive the support they need to thrive despite their challenges.

But we can't do it alone. Your support is crucial in enabling us to realize this dream and make a lasting difference in the lives of these children and their communities. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to achieving our goal and bringing hope to those who need it most.
