In 2016, one $3 Frappuccino at Starbucks a day cost more than the median income for individuals in developing communities of the world.
In order to break the cycle of poverty there must be programs and grants in place not only for children, but women, men, anyone of any color, creed, religion or identity as well.
Together with the help of others, possibly you being one of them, maybe we could mitigate generational poverty. You can help me with this goal by contributing funds to support my volunteering in Bocas Del Torro, Panama working with children and families in need.
I personally spent the last two years thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, so I made my dream about the countless lives we could change if we work together. Mindless work, empty words, promises, and working a trade I had no passion for created challenging stagnant experiences throughout my career. The time I spent serving in the Army, and the following work was DEFINITELY not built sustainably for ADHD Dyslexics like me who just wanted to make a true difference in others lives. I struggled and I struggled hard. From work discrimination to personal life issues, you name it. But I persevered. These last two years have been rough for sure, as I'm sure it may have been for you too. Let's change that for the future. All of this led me to want to make a difference in the world around me, so that others can have the accommodations necessary for them to grow as I grew.
I knew with the help of others I could contribute to possibly mitigating generational poverty. With your help we'd also be assisting individuals who wish to grow and together help bring an equity to those without a voice in society. Whoever you are, wherever you are from, you deserve to be heard.
Through my research, I made my first international trip to Bocas this year on my visit to see my wonderful cousin, Thank you Cinda!!! My journey was an eye opening experience, and led me to take this first step in achieving my dreams. With you supporters, volunteers and altruists alike, I aim to create new community accommodations which all who wish can utilize and thrive.
By using whatever resources we can, we could to provide a paradigm shift for many, many, MANY individuals. Hopefully one day we can start an initiative to help break down generational poverty through a 2 Generation standard. I wish to give those in unfortunate circumstances the accommodations they need to have so they can grow as well.
After all “Even a pebble cast in the middle of a lake creates ripples that eventually reaches the shore.” ― Jeffrey G. Duarte
I cannot do these tasks alone nor do I have the resources at the moment, but with your help one day I could.
