Hi everyone! My name is Gabriella Polanco, but many know me as Gabby Polanco, and I have been called to serve on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic with my school Bishop Moore Catholic. I will be going from January 31st - February 7th, 2026. Ever since I was little I knew I wanted to take part of something so special. For those of you who don’t know although most of you do know, my family and I are from the Dominican Republic. Through sacrifice and love I’ve been able to go the DR the last 5 summers. I have been able to experience such a beautiful country and a place that God has specifically called me to serve with through my school. I will be working with the kids and people who live there, while teaching them what it is to follow in the footsteps of Jesus in the place I love the most. My hope is that because I’ve been given this opportunity to see a glimpse of how the people in the Dominican Republic live their lives, I will truly get an understanding of what life is all about…living through the face of Christ.

I hope and pray you will consider helping me to fund my mission trip. Mission Trip costs $1,650 and I really appreciate any support. It is in my heart to be a disciple of Christ and Shepard his abundant love with others. If you can’t support me monetarily please pray for me and my group while we spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ on our trip. Thank you!
