Every donation will go toward essential supplies for the teenage mothers and children at Hogar Juana de Aza, including food, diapers, baby formula, clothing, school supplies, toys, and other everyday needs.

What happens if you raise more than $2,000?

That would be amazing. Every extra dollar will still support Hogar Juana de Aza, allowing us to buy even more of the things the home needs.

First trip to the home

Age: 16

I have always loved working with children, and this trip is an opportunity to give back while making a meaningful impact in the lives of teenage mothers and their children. I am especially excited to volunteer alongside one of my best friends from Peru and learn more about his culture while serving the community together.

Even sharing the campaign helps.

Send the fundraiser to friends, family, classmates, and anyone who may want to support the home.
