Your monthly donations ensure that patients like Exequiel have quality medical services. Exequiel is six years old and was born with severe developmental disabilities. We have been providing medical attention for him, as it is very difficult for his family to transport him to the local hospital. Our physician visits him every month to make sure he has the proper medications.
Sandra is twelve years old and lives with her family in the community Limixto, a rural community located eight miles south of the city of Matagalpa. The class that she enjoys the most is mathematics and her dream is to go to medical school after finishing her high school education. Sandra’s family is very close and her parents are very supportive of her education. Part of her motivation for wanting to become a doctor is so she’ll be able to help her family, economically, in the future. She also wants to serve the families in her community, who have very limited access to medical services.

“Todd and I support Rayo because we have had the amazing opportunity to visit Nicaragua and see these amazing kids and meet their families. We feel that we have an opportunity to give back some of the blessings that we have received and Rayo is doing great things. Our kids had the privilege to work and play with the students while we visited a memory that is still very special to them. We look forward to the day that we can visit again.”
