Make a Real Impact: Support Candy’s Mission Trip to Cuba

In June, I’ll be embarking on a transformative mission trip to Cuba. I’ve always felt a pull to serve others, but I’ve been hesitant about fundraising for myself. This journey, however, has inspired me to finally launch a project I’ve always dreamed of: using merchandise to raise funds for a cause I believe in. And now, with the mission trip ahead, I see it as the perfect time to make this passion project a reality.

This isn’t just a trip—it’s the first step in something much bigger. Together, we can make an impact that echoes far beyond the mission trip itself. Every donation, every purchase, and every act of support is a seed that will grow into lasting change.

Our Mission: A Transformational Journey

This mission is about more than just providing support to Cuba—it’s about laying the foundation for something lasting. We aim to:

Empower the Cuban community by providing education, medical supplies, and emotional support.
Foster a culture of collaboration by involving people in meaningful ways that connect them to the mission.
Build a community that transcends borders, where people from all walks of life come together for a shared purpose.

This mission is an extension of my personal journey, but it is also about helping others thrive—locally and internationally. Every part of this campaign tells a story, a story of connection, of giving, and of change.
