As we come to the close of this year, we’re reminded just how short and precious time truly is.
On our most recent trip to Reaching the Unreached (RTU) to Colombia, we had the honor of delivering over 30,000 pounds of food and bringing Christmas to more than 400 children. What we witnessed went far beyond numbers, it was joy, hope, laughter, and the power of community coming together to serve others.
Moments like these remind us to slow down. To be thankful for what we have. To give freely. To hug those we love a little tighter. To say thank you while we still have the chance.
We are deeply grateful, for the ability to give, for the hands that served, and for the hearts that continue to believe in this mission. None of this is possible without our community. Your unwavering support, prayers, encouragement, and generosity are what make these moments real.
As we step into a new year, may we carry gratitude with us. May we love harder, serve louder, and never forget how powerful compassion can be.
From the bottom of our hearts…thank you for standing with us, believing in the mission, and helping us bring hope where it’s needed most.
Mission Medellín: Reaching the Unreached
I just got back from an incredible opportunity to connect with wonderful people in the barrios outside Medellín, Colombia.
Thanks to your help, we were able to deliver more than 30,000 pounds of food to 200+ families right before Christmas. We also shared smiles, danced, and learned about each other’s cultures.
I joined the board of @rtu_usa more than a year ago, and we’ve since held two successful fundraisers where many of you, our friends, helped raise awareness. It finally worked out for us to visit and spend time with the people we’ve been connecting with.
Our organization helps provide food security, medical assistance, English classes, and anti–human trafficking efforts for wonderful children and families.
This isn’t a photo op. It isn’t a handout. It’s about building sustainable solutions in neighborhoods with limited resources. And yes, it goes both ways. We made friends who reminded us of the true priorities in life; ones that don’t involve material things.
We hope to continue to grow and return soon. We also hope you’ll support our friends and get involved in something that truly makes a difference.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Reaching the Unreached trabaja llevando apoyo integral a comunidades vulnerables, especialmente a madres y familias en riesgo, a través de formación, acompañamiento y acción solidaria. 🙏
Gracias a la alianza entre ambas fundaciones, esta Navidad 🎄 fue posible apoyar a 100 madres cabeza de hogar con mercados, llevando alivio, esperanza y dignidad a sus hogares.
Juntos seguimos alcanzando a quienes más lo necesitan. 🤍

From the live music and dancing, to the stories of impact and the generosity shown through donations, the energy was inspiring.

✨ Meet Emiliano ✨
Emi is just 5 years old, born with a rare condition called tetra-amelia; he was born without all four limbs. From the very start, he has been part of the foundation, surrounded with love, care, and hope.
When Emi was only a baby, his life was marked by hardship. His parents struggled with addiction and violence, and at just one year old, he was hurt during a fight. That was the moment the foundation stepped in to protect him and ensure his safety.
Since then, Emi has been lovingly raised by his grandmother, Doña Diana, a courageous woman who gave up her job to dedicate her life to caring for him. Despite the challenges, Emi shines with joy. He attends daycare, greets the world with his big smile, and inspires everyone around him with his strength and resilience.
🌟 His story is a powerful reminder that with love, protection, and faith, children can overcome even the hardest beginnings. Emi represents what we stand for: reviving hope for children everywhere.
