Giving is not just about making a donations but making a difference!

Your contributions have touched the hearts of those in need in the town of Juana Diaz,  Puerto Rico. I had the honor and privilege to visit Puerto Rico end of July and personally offer families and/or individuals who are still in dire straits from the wrath of hurricane Maria financial assistance, a supportive ear and acknowledgement that we care.

I represented ALL of you – your generous hearts  were with me through this journey – I could not have done it without you!  Your contribution to this great cause was fulfilling, encouraging, memorable and humbling to say the least.  Pastor A. Echaverria was touched and grateful for the additional contribution made to the church which will benefit the barrio of Galicia, Juana Diaz, PR.

Attached you will find a short video thoughtfully made with love by my daughter Kristen capturing the beauty of Puerto Rico — the sounds, the beaches, its rich nature and our beautiful  flag…  We also include excerpts of folks who gave permission to be photographed/videotaped to share with all of you.  Some families were surprised and humbled by the generous offering and asked not to be photographed/videotaped but approved for us to capture images of their humble homes.

I want to sincerely thank ALL of you from the bottom of my heart for your thoughtful/generous donations and making Dream Events by Jeannie First Fundraising event successful and meaningful! Even if one life has been changed for the better, WE made a difference!

May God continue to bless you daily and in multitude…
