Marco's Holiday Giving Project 2015
Donation protected
Hey guys!
My name's Riley (white shirt, crouching). Recently I took a trip to Peru and met Marco (pink shirt, next to me!), who was running a free walking tour service in Cusco. Marco impressed me immediately, as he speaks several languages and knows an incredible amount about the history and culture of South America.
Marco's dream is to help kids in Peru, especially those living on the streets and working every day just to feed themselves.
For the past three years, Marco has been working on a project to bring some holiday cheer to these unfortunate children.
He's set aside 10% of his profits from his walking tour to buy gifts and food for kids in Cusco and the native villages of the Amazon.
Each holiday season, Marco gifts Purvian children with a toy, a sandwich, and some hot chocolate. The cost is about $5 per child.
In his first year, Marco was able to donate to 500 kids by himself! With the help of some friends, he was able to up that number to 900 in his second year.
Now in his third year, Marco took to facebook to ask for help with his project. I want this to be Marco's biggest year yet!
Let's see what the power of the Internet can bring to the impoverished children of Peru!
Some of these kids know nothing but jungle life, and the toy they recieve from Marco may be the only toy they own!
With a donation of $100, you could bring christmas to an entire village of kids!
Even a $5 donation makes a big difference in the life of these children.
The campaign will run for two weeks, until Dec. 14th, 2015. My goal is to raise $2,500 in support of his efforts, and I will personally match the largest donation (up to $200).
This is what others are saying about my friend Marco:
"[He's] full of knowledge and love, and an AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL SOUL." -Kelly Z.
"A kind, sweet heart. I truly respect [him]" -Mitsuyo K.
So help him out!
Any and all money raised through this campaign will be sent by me directly to Marco via Western Union, as he's unable to receive the funds directly from GoFundMe.
