Today is Giving Tuesday! Give the gift of education this holiday season!

An average yearly student scholarship, which covers all school-related costs including hearing, vision, or mobility aids, awarded by Niños de Veracruz is $200 USD. With this fundraiser, we are aiming to raise $2,000, enough to fund 10 student scholarships for 1 year.
