Eileen Atienza's fundraiser for Westside - Nicaragua

About this Fundraiser

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my upcoming missions trip and the opportunity to help support me in my fundraising efforts.

It's been on my heart for the last few years to step out of my comfort zone and serve others in a meaningful way. I've felt a calling to go on a missions trip but being a stay at home mom to two girls this wasn't realistic. With the support of my husband, Jeff, and the girls being older I feel I am now able to fulfill this calling.

Through a ministry at my church called Hear the Cry, I will be traveling in July for a week to Managua, Nicaragua and serving at La Villa Esperanza, a home for at-risk, adolescent girls. These girls face the threats of hunger, emotional distress, and sexual attack. By providing for these girls emotionally, spiritually, physically, and relationally, La Villa provides an opportunity for young women to break the cycle of generational poverty that they are often born into.

Hear The Cry partners with Forward Edge International who sends dozens of short-term mission teams to Managua every year. While the foundation of this trip is the girls at La Villa, each day while the girls are at school my team will go throughout the city on work projects. The hope for the Villa is not just that Jesus would radically impact these girls lives, but that He would also impact the girl’s families, the workers at La Villa, and the surrounding communities. Our team gets a chance to help make that impact by working alongside La Villa’s workers, spending time with the girls daily, and serving where there’s a need in Managua.

Thank you again for your time and whether you are able to support me financially or through prayer or words of encouragement, it is all very much appreciated.

Love,

Eileen
