<div>Dominican Republic
</div>
<div>Every child deserves to begin the school year feeling prepared, confident, and excited to learn. Last year, our Back to School initiative brought together friends, clients and community members to provide school supplies to more than 80 children in the Pancho Mateo community of Montellano. The response was incredible, and thanks to the generosity of many people, we made a meaningful difference. At the same time, the experience showed us just how great the need truly is. As we distributed supplies, additional children arrived hoping to receive support and unfortunately we did not have enough for everyone. It was a heartbreaking reminder that there are many more families who could benefit from a helping hand. That is why this year, our goal is to expand the initiative and reach even more children - but we can only do that with the support of our community. This year, we want to do even more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Goal for 2026
</div>
<div>For our 2026 Back to School Drive, we are expanding our efforts to reach children in three different communities across the North Coast. Our goal is to provide not only essential school supplies, but also a new backpack filled with the items children need to start the school year ready to succeed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Communities We Hope to Support:
</div>
<div>(1) Cabarete - Through the support of Coral School, a nonprofit school serving local families, we will identify children from:
</div>
<div>- Callejón de la Loma
</div>
<div>- La Ciénaga
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The teachers and staff at Coral School know the families personally and are helping us ensure that our support reaches the children who need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>(2) Pancho Mateo (Montellano)
</div>
<div>We will once again support children in the Pancho Mateo community in Montellano, with the help and guidance of one of our key community contacts in the area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>(3) Sosúa
</div>
<div>Our efforts in Sosúa will focus on neighborhoods including:
</div>
<div>- Sosúa Abajo
</div>
<div>- Maranatha
</div>
<div>- Bella Vista
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your support, each child will receive a backpack filled with the essential school supplies needed to start the new academic year prepared and confident. These simple items can make a huge difference for families who are doing their best to prepare their children for the new academic year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Many Children Can We Help?
</div>
<div>The number of children we can support depends entirely on the amount of donations we receive. RealtorDR has committed to matching donations dollar for dollar, up to US$ 4,000, which means every contribution will have an even greater impact. We estimate that it will cost approximately US$ 50 per child to provide a backpack filled with essential school supplies. Our goal is to support as many children as possible across Cabarete, Montellano and Sosúa. The more donations we receive, the more children we can help start the school year prepared and confident.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Distribution Date:
</div>
<div>Public schools in the Dominican Republic are expected to begin classes in mid-August. Our goal is to complete the supply distribution by Friday 7th August, ensuring families have everything they need before the school year begins.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Meet the Team Behind the Initiative
</div>
<div>This year’s Back to School Drive is being organized by Bernisa, Carinne, Kat and Hennah. Together, we are coordinating donations, identifying families and organizing distribution to ensure that every contribution has a direct impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>- Donate Online through Go Fund Me
</div>
<div>- Donate in Person. A cash donation box will be available at the RealtorDR office for those who prefer to donate in person.
</div>
<div>- Spread the Word. Sharing this initiative with your friends, family, and colleagues is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to help us reach more children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Join Us
</div>
<div>Whether you make a financial contribution or simply share this initiative, your support will help us reach more children and more families. Together, we can help hundreds of students start the new school year with confidence. Thank you for being part of this effort.

A Backpack Full of Hope:  RealtorDR Gives Back 2026

Tomáš Celar

<div>Hi everyone — this is Robert Maceachern, President of RealtorDR.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together with our incredible team — Hennah, Carinne, Katherine, Bernisa, and the entire RealtorDR family — we’ve set a goal that means a lot to all of us:
</div>
<div>to feed 500 families this Christmas across the North Coast of the Dominican Republic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This season, we want to go beyond real estate.
</div>
<div>We want to give back — to show gratitude to the communities that have welcomed us, supported us, and inspired us to grow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every December, there are families who quietly struggle to put together a simple holiday meal.
</div>
<div>And this year, we’re determined to change that — not with words, but with action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why RealtorDR will match 100% of all donations.
</div>
<div>Every dollar you give will be doubled, turning generosity into food, smiles, and hope for families identified by local schools and community leaders.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✨ Our Goal
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our total goal is to feed 500 families, divided evenly across four North Coast communities (125 families each).
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bernisa – Pancho Mateo (Montellano)
</div>

</div>
<div>Carinne – La Ciénega (through Mariposa Foundation)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Katherine (Kat) – Callejón de la Loma (through Coral School)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hennah – Sosúa Abajo
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These areas were chosen with the help of local schools and trusted community partners, ensuring that we reach families with children and households that need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Each Family Receives
