Christmas in San Antonio Sodzil, Mexico
Tax deductible
Hi Everyone!! Christmas is almost a month away!! As 2020 approaches, I reflect on how many blessings I've received and how much God has worked in my life these last two years in high school.
He led me to Cacalchen, Mexico in the summer of 2018 and my life was changed forever. I went on a mission trip with KUMC GW and met Pastor Kyle and his team at La Academia Nathaniel. I participated in a youth retreat and also helped lead VBS camps at Sacalum and Motul. Visiting Mexico not only gave me an opportunity to sight see and practice Spanish, but also live and breathe a completely different way of life. Even on the hottest day, without any air conditioning and many bugs, I could not stop dancing, engaging, laughing, and serving the generous hearts I encountered, young and old. It was an extremely humbling experience.
The following spring, I returned and I had the opportunity to volunteer in San Antonio Sodzil. My family and I homestayed with a San Antonio family and now we sponsor the two girls, Evelyn and Vanessa.
Every December, Pastor Kyle and his teams asks each San Antonio child their one Christmas wish. (ranging from soccer balls to stuffed animals to motorized toy cars)
I'd like to invite you to give $40 to sponsor a child this holiday season and help make their wish come true. (any donation will help make an impact! It will cover the cost of the personal gift, trip to the state fair, and the annual Christmas celebration!) Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. Muchas gracias!
