School Supplies Fundraiser (Summer 2024)

"By lifting stars we build smiles"

Hello, my name is Sarai Molina; I am a eighteen-year-old rising college freshmen, in New York State. This will be the third year where I have been given the opportunity to be able to raise funds for the Foundacion Antonio Caba (Foundation Antonio Caba) organization in La Vega, Dominican Republic. The Foundacion Antonio Caba's striving goal is to serve and help the poverty-stricken families within their community and surrounding regions. This foundation is very dear to my heart since not only is my grandmother leading as the mother superior nun, but I have seen firsthand as a second-generation American throughout my life—from the image of my parents—how living in constant poverty can have a significant impact on an individual's livelihood; especially concerning the aspect of trying to move forward to accomplish your goals without having the proper resources to fund yourself. As of this, working with this foundation is allowing me to connect back to my heritage and grant me the liberty to serve the very same community that helped my family move forward. Therefore, when we collect enough funds we will be buying bulk packages of a variety of school supplies and backpacks, in which we will then be packaging and shipping these supplies to the foundation, and once the supplies arrive in the Dominican Republic, during the beginning of the summer of 2024 I will be personally delivering these items to members of different impoverished communities, with the help of our group of volunteers.

Thank you to everybody in advance for your support!
