Hello, my name is María Fernanda Carchipulla Rodas.

I lived 6 years in the United States, where I learned a lot and worked hard. In 2022, I lost my husband, and that experience taught me the importance of faith, hope, and love in life.

In 2023, I returned to Ecuador with my two children, Owen, 4, and Amy, 11. We are a small family, but full of hope and the desire to live fully and share happiness and opportunities with those who have never known them.

My mission is to help children, mothers, and families in my community grow with values, knowledge, and tools for a better future, working in the name of God.

I want to start in my neighborhood, Adolfina in Pasaje, with free workshops and programs that include:

English, Art, and Technology for children

Personal development: self-esteem, body care, making healthy decisions, and planning for the future

Nutrition and self-sustainability for mothers, teaching healthy habits and family resources

Food bank, ensuring that the families in need have access to basic food.

Why I need support / Por qué necesito apoyo:

To carry out all this effectively and efficiently, I need a vehicle to:

Transport materials for the workshops and the food bank

Reach more children and families who want to participate

Expand the project and increase the impact in the community

How you can help / Cómo puedes ayudar:

Every donation is a seed of hope and change. With your support, you will help me get the vehicle that will make this dream possible and directly contribute to the well-being, learning, and development of many children and families in Pasaje.

If you are unable to support us with a monetary donation, you can also help by donating backpacks, school supplies, books, iPads or computers you no longer use, as well as sports, art items, or musical instruments. Shipments can be sent to Ecuador via courier directly to Pasaje, El Oro. I will always share proof of everything received with photos on my social media so you can see the impact of your generosity.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining this mission and being part of the change.Seeds Of Hope Pasaje Facebook
