I came from La Maya, Cuba at the age of 14. After experiencing the devastation of war and communism. I was born in the US during one of my parents many trips to the US – I lived here a very short time. I consider myself originally from Cuban. Let’s not focus on where I was born – rather where I came from.

While 90% of what we do is in Northeast Florida, we have leveraged the power of relationships that have strong front-line connections internationally. Over a million dollars in medical supplies were shipped to Cuba, two thousand pairs of shoes were shipped to the Caribbean and central America, 20 IPODS were provided to enhance the educational level in Nicaragua, food, medical supplies and vitamins have been shared with Haiti, Colombia, Guatemala and Nicaragua. We currently have four soccer programs in the Ghettos of Cali, Colombia to Sheppard young people away from gang violence.
