We are here to help change this practice and provide a compassionate alternative with art-inspired Transitional Belongings Bags. Our second purpose is to reduce the financial burdens patients experience due to serious injury or illness. Our Patient Assistant Program provides small grants to help individuals cover costs for items such as food, rent, daycare, utilities, transportation, medicine, and other medical expenses.

Vintage-inspired attire is optional. About Corazon de Vida Foundation (CDV) Since its founding in 1994, Corazon de Vida has been on a mission to end child abandonment by breaking the vicious cycle of poverty. We provide life-changing support to orphaned and abandoned children in Baja through a network of 10+ orphanages that provide a loving home to over 500 children. The orphanages we support are all located within a couple of hours from the Mexico/ San Diego border, giving us the ability to stay connected and aware of their most pressing needs. Support covers food, shelter, utilities, care, and education needs for K-12 students, as well as scholarships to university & trade school for teens that have aged out of the orphanage system. We are creating future leaders that will in turn make their communities and country better and safer for those that follow. For more information visit: e.givesmart.com
