Hello Friends,
Yesterday we sent you a link to our new blog and in it you might have notice our Padrinos y Madrinas Without Borders project page. One of the young girls the foundation is actively supporting through her education and living expenses is Ambrosiana. Ambrosiana is 14 years old in her freshman year of high school and lives in San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas, Mexico.
Her story is one of struggle and hardship. Her family although loving and hard working is very poor and is unable to support her dreams of furthering her education. Ambrosiana is brave and proud of her indigenous roots and wants to become a lawyer. The Children of Chiapas foundation is committed to helping her make that day dream come true and we need your support.
Unfortunately, we just received word that she was hit by a car over the weekend and has suffered serious injuries. As you can imagine due to her family's financial situation they do not have the money to cover her very urgent medical expenses.
The Women's Center (K'inal Antensik) where she currently resides in has asked us for help. We are now reaching out to you to help Ambrosiana. Help her get back on track with her health and studies. Ambrosiana's situation is of immediate need, please help us send her family the monies they need to see her through this very difficult situation.
We have added a paypal button for donations on the blog or if you would like to make a tax deductible donation (tax id# 20-2602120) you can make your check payable to Children of Chiapas Foundation and mail it to: 8439 Drayer Lane, Rosemead, CA 91770.
If you like to see a picture of Ambrosiona please look at the Padrinos y Madrinas page. She's the young girl with the tan top in the middle.
We thank you again for all your support and ask that you pass this along to your friends and family. It is our hope to continue to share with all of you Ambrosiana's progress.
