We raised $14, 082 for telemedicine in Puerto Rico. Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated Puerto Rico, incurring $94 billion in damages and resulting in approximately 3,000 deaths. Many Puerto Ricans no longer had access to the physicians and clinics they need, and many still do not have viable sources of food and clean water. Our donation went towards helping Puerto Ricans access medical services at clinics.

We raised $15,043 for the Children of the Dump Organization in Nicaragua. These teenagers face extreme poverty and lack the resources such as education, safe shelter, and a clean environment to escape their situation. These children were digging through the garbage, with their bodies full of open sores, desperately looking for something to eat. Children were competing with dogs, cattle, and adults for scraps of food.
The donation went to the purchase and planting of fruit-bearing trees for one of these villages so that families can harvest and sell the products, thus strengthening their economic situations. |

We raised $14,283 for the adolescents at the Phatsimong Adolescent Centre, in Botswana, Africa. These teenagers deal with HIV/AIDS and lack the support system and resources needed to make them independent and successful.
The Phatsimong Adolescent Centre treats more than 4,000 HIV-infected children and families around Botswana, with the ultimate goal of coordinating adolescent care throughout the country and to one day eliminate AIDS. The children the center helps often have difficulty adhering to their medication regimen and may suffer from behavioral or psychological problems due to their condition. Our donation facilitated the construction of a multi-purpose outdoor sports court--with outdoor sports flooring, basketball hoops, a volleyball net, and a shade netting cage that will encourage the adolescents to continue their regimen and become strong, influential individuals. |
