Every year, dozens of young women walk through our doors feeling scared, alone, and unsure of what to do next. One of them was María, a 17‑year‑old who arrived trembling, holding a positive pregnancy test and carrying the weight of a future she couldn’t yet imagine.

She didn’t have support at home. She didn’t know how she would finish school. She didn’t know how to become a mother.

But she found something here that changed everything — a safe place, a listening ear, and people who believed in her before she believed in herself.

Through our programs, María received:

A caring mentor
Baby essentials
Parenting classes
Emotional support
A community that walked with her every step

Today, María is a proud mom of a healthy baby boy. She graduated high school, works part‑time, and continues building a future filled with hope — a future she once thought was impossible.

Stories like hers are the reason we created LOTERIA FOR BABIES.

This fundraiser helps us provide:

Diapers
Formula
Baby clothing
Safe‑sleep items
Counseling
Classes
And a loving support system for moms who need it most

Every card you play, every prize you win, every moment of fun you share helps a mother like María feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Together, we turn fear into courage, loneliness into community, and uncertainty into hope.

Join us for our 2nd Lotería for Babies — because every baby deserves a strong beginning, and every mother deserves someone cheering her on.
