Help Angelina launch Planting Hope School this August

Angelina’s journey began in an orphanage, where she lived from ages 5 to 19. Though her early years were challenging, the care she received there shaped her heart and gave her a vision for helping others. Since 2009, she has partnered with LiveDifferent in Zapata, Mexico, supporting families facing generational poverty. During the pandemic, when regular outreach work was halted, she helped create a temporary learning space for children left home alone and without access to school. This space provided not only education but also safety, love, and a renewed sense of hope. For Angelina, education became more than academics—it was a lifeline to dignity and a better future.

Today, Angelina runs a grassroots education center three days a week, offering literacy classes for children who’ve never attended school, tutoring and enrichment for school-age students, and creative activities like English, music, and sports. She also provides a breakfast program to help children start their day nourished. In August, she will open Planting Hope School full-time. With your support, this school will offer a stable, nurturing environment complete with nutritious snacks, school supplies, internet access, donated computers, and learning materials. Angelina’s vision is simple but powerful: to pass on the hope and opportunity she once received.
