Humanitarian Work in the Dominican Republic

Donation protected
Hi, friends. I am back in the Dominican and would love your support if possible. For those of you unfamiliar with the story, my cousin Jake, who passed away in a car accident when he was a senior in high school, had been to the Dominican on humanitarian trips and had a huge heart for the people on the island. As a way for my family and his friends to continue to honor his life and legacy, we carry on his work in the Dominican with the people he cared so deeply for. We have helped to build a school & children’s hospital, installed clean drinking water wells, have constructed 4 multi-family homes with businesses on the first floor so the occupants have jobs, & we have distributed several thousand pounds of food to those most in need. We are asking for donations to help us purchase large amounts of food in bulk so that we can make family packs of food for the families most in need. Typically, we are able to give away several thousand pounds of rice, beans, oil, pasta, carrots, and sardines. Your donations will allow us to continue this work. Please know that 100% of your donations will either go towards the purchase of food/supplies or to a specific need in the community as my travel costs and room and board have already been paid for. I fully recognize that this year has been a challenging one for many, and I’m sure your heart to help has been pulled in several directions throughout these challenging times. Know that every dollar helps and that there is no donation too small to help. If you find yourself in a position where donating is just not realistic, I’ve been there, and I get it. I would ask you to share this far and wide with as many people you think might donate as possible. Thank you in advance for your consideration & support of this work, which is so very important to me and my family. There are pics below of our previous trips/work for those interested. I would also be happy to FaceTime with anyone interested in seeing the work we are doing, the communities we serve, and the people we love. With Love, Frank
