<div>On May 20th of this year, my wife and life partner Barbara and I were celebrating our forty-second anniversary with a simple day of being home together when she suffered a life-altering ischemic stroke to the left side of her brain, leaving her paralyzed and unable to use her right arm, hand, leg, and foot, as well as causing aphasia—the inability to completely articulate her thoughts and feelings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though severely challenged by her circumstances she is completely conscious, remains optimistic, and her sense of humor and the beauty of her essence remain intact. She is thankfully able to communicate through gestures and few words. That said she does have very tough days as she recognizes how tough her journey is.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Barbara is an incredible mother to her three sons, a friend to many, a fantastic cook (she has fed hundreds), an avid gardener, musician, and master ceramic artist who, for the past twenty years has devoted herself to teaching others her love of clay. She was actually doing a kiln firing for her students at the time of the stroke which was left incomplete until she recovers with your help—her friends and family ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We live in a small Mexican village in southern pacific Jalisco and need to relocate Barbara to a facility where she can receive the best care to support her healing including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, as well as cutting-edge stem cell and peptide treatments to enhance her brain's own neuroplastic healing potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These therapies, the home care assistants and therapists we need, both at home now and when we relocate to an advanced therapy center are what we asking funding for. We may also need new transportation suitable for wheelchair access. Your donations will be used to fund these essential modalities and procedures to insure Barbara's recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In her first days home from hospital Barbara needed liquids administered through a syringe and had to be spoon-fed soft foods, within days she was able to hold and drink from her own cup and feed herself with her left hand. Every day she progresses, adding new words and beginning to string them together making short sentences. Though her speech is slowly improving, it is a long way from her normal ability and we know she needs a professional speech therapist to support greater recovery so once again we can hear her voice. Unfortunately there is none in our present location.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What's amazing is Barbara remembers lyrics from her favorite songs and can sing along which helps connect more neural pathways toward healing. It's also a deeply emotional experience for her. Barbara feels a lot.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Still largely bed bound, she has been able to raise and bend her right leg and, with assistance, get into a wheelchair to enjoy a different perspective on life and see that everything she now practices repeatedly contributes to the progress needed for optimal recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our son Zorba arrived to help me the day after she returned home from hospital and we are doing everything we can utilizing local doctors, therapists, and home care angels in our village as well as professional online advice to get her this far along but more skilled therapists in a professional setting are needed as soon as possible. The learning curve has been steep but Barbara has progressed greatly under our care thus far but needs to go further.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These first six months to one year are considered the brain's greatest opportunity for natural healing through its neuroplasticity as it rewires new pathways toward recovery. Barbara has a challenging journey ahead but is still well within the time frame for her to regain full function so please give what your heart can offer to financially support this wonderful woman to once again have the full use of her body and voice so she can continue sharing her vibrant and unending love, artistic skills, and presence with others. ❤️❤️❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope you can contribute financially and also by sharing this fundraiser with many others in your circle of humanity also on the path of loving-kindness and generosity. ❤️❤️
</div>
<div>Our mantra is, Never Give Up, Never Surrender,
</div>
<div>Muchas Gracias, Mahalo, y Thank You,
</div>

<div><strong>MULTIPLICA SUS ALAS</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hace más de 20 años,<strong> solo 8 Guacamayas Verdes (Ara militaris) vivían en libertad</strong> en Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco. Hoy, gracias a la dedicación de mi familia y al apoyo de diversas instituciones y personas a lo largo del proyecto,<strong> más de 110 guacamayas vuelan libres, muchas de ellas nacidas en nuestro Santuario de 70 hectáreas.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi nombre es Francisco Espino. En 1999, con 19 años, fundé El Santuario de las Guacamayas, un refugio para reconstruir la población de guacamayas militares en la península silvestre de Cabo Corrientes. Desde entonces, he dedicado mi vida al voluntariado para proteger estas aves y ahora mis hijos también se han unido a esta labor familiar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias a nuestro esfuerzo, en los últimos ocho años, 112 polluelos han sobrevivido hasta la edad adulta y regresan cada temporada al Santuario. Esta temporada alcanzamos una de nuestras mejores temporadas de reproducción: 26 polluelos en 18 nidos activos, casi el doble del año anterior.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El Santuario está registrado oficialmente ante las autoridades ambientales mexicanas como Unidad de Manejo para la Conservación de Vida Silvestre (UMA) “Santuario de las Guacamayas”, cumpliendo con todos los requisitos legales para la protección y manejo de la especie.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>CÓMO TRABAJAMOS Y CON QUIÉN COLABORAMOS</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nuestro proyecto avanza gracias a la dedicación de la familia y al apoyo de científicos, instituciones y organizaciones como:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>- World Parrot Trust – asesoría y colaboración científica internacional.
</div>
<div>- Instituto Veterinario y Ecológico – estudios sobre manejo de psitácidos (loros).
</div>
<div>- Biólogos de todo México – aplicación de protocolos rigurosos para el cuidado de la población de guacamayas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tomamos acciones como:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>- Nidos artificiales donde no hay suficientes árboles grandes.
</div>
<div>- Monitoreo y limpieza de polluelos para eliminar parásitos.
</div>
<div>- Vigilancia constante del Santuario para proteger a las aves y otras especies de cazadores
</div>
<div>furtivos.
</div>
<div>- Identificación y seguimiento de guacamayas para garantizar su seguridad y supervivencia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias a este trabajo, <strong>estimamos que la tasa de supervivencia de los polluelos aumenta de 16% en la naturaleza a más del 70% en nuestro Santuario.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>POR QUÉ TU AYUDA ES VITAL</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La Guacamaya Verde está en peligro de extinción, con menos de 3,000 individuos en libertad. La pérdida de hábitat y la caza furtiva son las principales amenazas para su supervivencia. Con tu apoyo podemos:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>- Mantener vigilancia constante en el Santuario.
</div>
<div>- Construir y mantener nidos para nuevas generaciones.
</div>
<div>- Reforestar el bosque y proteger su hábitat.
</div>
<div>- Cuidar de los polluelos hasta que puedan volar por sí mismos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> ESTE 2026, UN DONANTE IGUALARÁ TODAS LAS CONTRIBUCIONES, PESO POR PESO, ¡TU AYUDA LLEGA EL DOBLE DE LEJOS!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ejemplos de cómo tus donaciones cambian vidas:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>10,000 pesos: Nido nuevo que durará muchas generaciones.
</div>
<div>5,000 pesos: Reforestación de 500 pinos en zonas vulnerables.
</div>
<div>3,500 pesos: Adopción de un nido por un año (cuidado de los polluelos y mantenimiento del nido).
</div>
<div>1,000 pesos: Kit para retirar larvas de los polluelos.
</div>
<div>350 pesos: Anillo de identificación para un polluelo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>NUESTRO COMPROMISO CON EL ECOSISTEMA</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En el Santuario no solo protegemos guacamayas: cuidamos un ecosistema completo, incluyendo Jaguares (Panthera onca), pecarís, aves y árboles endémicos como el Pino Blanco de Jalisco (Pinus jaliscana). Este bosque de 70 hectáreas es un refugio seguro para todas las especies y está considerado prioritario para la conservación por su alta biodiversidad (CONABIO).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi familia y yo hemos mantenido esta labor durante más de 20 años, y con tu apoyo podremos continuar asegurando que las guacamayas y todo el ecosistema del Santuario prosperen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Ayúdanos a multiplicar sus alas y dar esperanza a la próxima generación de guacamayas. Tu donación salva vidas y protege un ecosistema entero.</strong>

<div><strong>MULTIPLY THEIR WINGS</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over 20 years ago, <strong>only 8 Military Macaws (Ara militaris) lived in the wild</strong> in Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco. Today, thanks to the dedication of my family and the support of various institutions and individuals throughout the project, <strong>more than 110 macaws fly free, many of them born in our 70-hectare Sanctuary.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Francisco Espino. In 1999, at 19 years old, I founded the Santuario de las Guacamayas, a refuge dedicated to rebuilding the population of military macaws in the wild peninsula of Cabo Corrientes. Since then, I have devoted my life as a volunteer to protecting these birds, and now my children have joined this family mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to our efforts, over the last eight years, 112 chicks have survived to adulthood and return to the Sanctuary each season. This season, we achieved one of our best breeding seasons yet: 26 chicks in 18 active nests, almost double last year’s numbers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Sanctuary is officially registered with Mexican environmental authorities as a Wildlife Conservation Management Unit (UMA) called “Santuario de las Guacamayas,” complying with all legal requirements for the protection and management of the species.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>HOW WE WORK AND WHO WE COLLABORATE WITH</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our project thrives thanks to family dedication and the support of scientists, institutions, and organizations such as:
</div>
<div>- World Parrot Trust – international scientific guidance and collaboration.
</div>
<div>- Veterinary and Ecological Institute – studies on psittacine (parrot) management.
</div>
<div>- Biologists across Mexico – applying rigorous protocols to care for the macaw population.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our actions include:
</div>
<div>- Installing artificial nests where there are not enough large trees.
</div>
<div>- Monitoring and cleaning chicks to remove parasites.
</div>
<div>- Continuous Sanctuary patrols to protect birds and other wildlife from poachers.
</div>
<div>- Identifying and tracking macaws to ensure their safety and survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to this work, we estimate that chick survival increases from 16% in the wild to over 70% in our Sanctuary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Military Macaw is endangered, with fewer than 3,000 individuals in the wild. Habitat loss and poaching are the main threats to their survival. With your support, we can:
</div>
<div>- Maintain constant surveillance in the Sanctuary.
</div>
<div>- Build and maintain nests for new generations.
</div>
<div>- Reforest the forest and protect their habitat.
</div>
<div>- Care for chicks until they can fly on their own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> IN 2026, A GENEROUS DONOR WILL MATCH EVERY CONTRIBUTION, PESO FOR PESO— YOUR SUPPORT GOES TWICE AS FAR!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Examples of how your donation saves lives
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>10,000 pesos: New nest that will last for generations.
</div>
<div>5,000 pesos: Reforest 500 pine trees in vulnerable areas.
</div>
<div>3,500 pesos: Adopt a nest for one year (chick care and nest maintenance).
</div>
<div>1,000 pesos: Kit to remove parasites from chicks.
</div>
<div>350 pesos: Identification ring for a chick.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ECOSYSTEM</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the Sanctuary, we protect more than macaws: we care for an entire ecosystem, including jaguars (Panthera onca), peccaries, birds, and endemic trees like the Jalisco White Pine (Pinus jaliscana). This 70-hectare forest is a safe refuge for all species and is considered a high-priority conservation area for its biodiversity (CONABIO).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family and I have maintained this work for over 20 years, and with your support, we can continue ensuring that the macaws and the entire Sanctuary ecosystem thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Help us multiply their wings and give hope to the next generation of macaws. Your donation saves lives and protects an entire ecosystem.</strong>

Ayuda a Francisco y Las Guacamayas - Help Francisco & Macaws

<div>I was shocked and incredibly saddened two months ago when one of my best friends, Ariane Cox, let me know she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Because of her young age, her doctors thought her stomach issues were from an infection. After a colonoscopy, it was confirmed that it was not an infection, but colon cancer and after a PET scan, it was confirmed that it has spread to lymph nodes all over her body. Her and her husband had to quickly uproot their lives in Midland and move to Fort Worth to begin chemotherapy. Medical bills have been outrageous, as were moving costs. Because most of Ariane and her husband's time is spent going to doctor and chemotherapy visits, they can no longer work full time, which means half the income. I'd love to show them some love and support while easing the financial burden of a very awful illness!
</div>

Lessen the Financial Impact of Cancer

<div>My Mom's Cancer Journey: Embracing Hope and Community Support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In May, my mom, Brenda Dempsey, received the devastating news of being diagnosed with stomach cancer. This unexpected and shocking diagnosis has thrown our family into a living nightmare as we navigate a broken healthcare system to secure a treatment plan. Despite facing delays and barriers, we've finally arranged her chemo sessions starting on August 10th in Victoria, BC. While we remain hopeful for a brighter future together, we know the road ahead will be challenging.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom is an incredible source of strength and positivity, even during these trying times. Her spirit shines brightly as she seeks out silver linings on the most difficult days. She's a healer, a loving mother, a caring sister, a devoted nana, a cherished wife, a loyal friend, and an inspiring mentor. Her radiant light draws people close to her, and she's always been generous with her support to others. Now, it's our turn to lend a helping hand.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Brenda is no longer able to work at this time due to her condition, so any financial support will be greatly appreciated as we navigate the months ahead. Your contributions will make a significant difference in assisting with travel to medical appointments, special foods and vitamins, other healthcare and treatments not covered under BC medical and any additional care she needs during this period of healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support means the world to us as we come together to combat this cancer. Let's rally behind my mom, and together, we can overcome this challenge and bring hope and comfort to her journey. Thank you for joining us in this fight!"
