Richard is creative and enthusiastic

Richard
Dear Megan,

Richard is 16 years old and lives in a small village in Guatemala called Saquitacaj. Recently, the Agatha tropical storm severely impacted his family, forcing them to live in a shelter. With a disabled father and a very busy mother doing everything she can to put food on the table, Richard and his siblings’ future did not look too bright. Thanks to the kind donation from you, Megan, Richard is now able to study.

His teachers describe him as a great example to others, full of perseverance and he makes “any obstacle an opportunity.” He will be graduating next year, and plans to study computer science while working to support his family. Your donation will help him reach his goal. Thank you!
