Ruth Muñoz Memorial for Sustainable Growth
A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
Heifer Project International, Inc.In honor of my Aunt Ruth, we are raising money to buy farm animals for impoverished families.
$1,000
raised by 5 people
$2,500 goal
Ruth Muñoz, my loving aunt, used to fund raise every year during the holidays to help a poor family create a sustainable future. Many of us contributed to purchase farm animals towards this goal. When she passed away, I decided to take up the mantle.
Each year she raised more than the last. This year I'd like to think we would make her proud: I'd like to raise $2500 to purchase a bull and two cows and "water for life" - a water pump installed.
Providing mating cattle would allow a family to earn income from selling milk and calves. The cattle would also give the family an opportunity to grow a herd, and, of course, provide an abundant source of free fertilizer.
If we exceed the goal of $2500, we could buy other animals like a flock of geese, ducks, or chickens, or a pig or a goat.
In this season of giving, let's carry on Ruth's tradition of caring for others.
