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
