This #GivingTuesday, please help me raise money for Mil Milagros to support the Indigenous Maya leaders who are improving health and education in rural Guatemala.
Right now, job loss due to COVID-19 has left many Guatemalan workers without enough money to put food on the table. But Mil Milagros is helping community leaders provide their peers with the resources and education that they need to stay safe and healthy.
Mil Milagros’ work means a lot to me because [share why you’re involved with Mil Milagros].
Thank you in advance for your support!

This #GivingTuesday, help me fight inequality. Guatemala is one of the most unequal countries in the world, and Indigenous Maya families are the most likely to live in poverty. But I believe that, with the right resources and education, these families can rise out of poverty for good.
This is why I’m raising money for @milmilagrosinc, a nonprofit that develops the leadership potential of Indigenous Maya mothers, teachers, and children so that they can improve health and education in rural Guatemala.
Join me in improving lives in rural Guatemala.
