About this Fundraiser

Family and friends,

My name is Payton Fiarito and I am currently a sophomore at Sherwood High School.  I am so grateful to have been given the incredible opportunity to head back down to Managua, Nicaragua in July. I will be on a team with other students from our youth group at Westside, A Jesus Church. We will be serving at the Villa Esperanza and around the city of Managua. The Villa is a home for teenage girls, who have previously lived IN the city dump. These girls come from rough backgrounds, some knowing their family and some not, but a lot of them have been sold to prostitution. Each of them came, voluntarily, to work hard to get an education, create a successful future for themselves and most importantly, to get to know the Lord. The staff on site at the Villa work very hard to get these girls to mature into amazing young women.

Last August we got to lay the foundation for a life skills center at the Villa. We worked long days, along with some local construction workers to start this project.  Other days were spent at schools around the city. We will be doing similar tasks this year. That may be painting, cleaning up, repairing roofs or laying a foundation, we are open and ready to take on anything that is needed.

More important than this, is the relationships we made. These girls come from broken pasts and desperately need people they can trust, and love on them. That’s why we are there. To build friendships that last a lifetime and spend quality time with them. They need people to be the light in their sometimes dark worlds, and show them more of who Jesus is and how much he cares for them. I still stay in touch with a few of them, I’m so overjoyed and anxious to be there again.

I need to raise $2,200 for this trip by the end of June. I will continue to work hard to raise money on my own. If you would prayerfully consider partnering with me on this journey, whether financially or in prayer, I would greatly appreciate it.  Any amount of financial help would mean the world to me.  All the money I raise will go directly towards my trip, including: airfare, fees in and out of Nicaragua, insurance, lodging etc. Thank you!! If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Much love!

Payton Fiarito

La Villa Esperanza is a home for at-risk, adolescent girls in Managua, Nicaragua. 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 these trips are the girls at La Villa, each day while the girls are at schools the teams 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 teams get 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.
