Ambrosiana needs your continued support!

Hello Friends,

Last week we informed you that one of the young girls in our Padrinos y Madrinas project had been hit by a car and was seriously injured. Ambrosiana is one of the young girls the foundation is actively supporting with her education and living expenses. 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.

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.

Some of you responded and so far we have been able to raise $300.00. We are still looking to raise another $ 1,000 in order to assist Ambrosiana's family with her growing medical expenses. Ambrosiana is now in stable condition but has severe head trauma and additional tests have to be done. We thank you for your contributions and hoep that you will continue to support Ambrosiana and her family.

Best Wishes,
