Hello, my name is Joy, and I am the proud founder of Joy of Hearts Mission based in Los Angeles, California.

I was born and raised in the beautiful country of Belize, in the heart of Central America. From a young age, I witnessed what true kindness, compassion, and love looked like through the eyes and actions of my parents, Keith and Muriel Lopez. Our home was always open, welcoming anyone who came by and treating them like family. My parents' example inspired me deeply, and I always knew I wanted to carry that same spirit of generosity and love into the world as I grew older. One year ago, I followed that calling and launched Joy of Hearts Mission with the goal of supporting children around the world, especially in my hometown of Dangriga, Belize, where my journey began. I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you who has supported this mission in any way. Your kindness, prayers, and contributions mean more than words can express. I pray that God continues to bless each of you and that Joy of Hearts Mission will continue to be a light of love and hope for those in need.

With all my heart,

Joy
