💖 Thank You, Everyone 💖

Thank you, everyone. And it’s never goodbye as long as the passion for children remains in our hearts.

Our commitment to making the world better for children is what got us up every day. It fueled the long hours—negotiating for diapers, school supplies, clothing, toys and shoes—so that kids in our community could have what they need to thrive.

We set out with a goal: to reach one million children… to truly make a difference in their lives, so that one day, they would have the opportunity to pay it forward.

We believe that this is how we can make the world a better place for all of us.

It took six years.

And together—we did it. You, your family and the Machado’s.

With gratitude and love,

Chuck & Stephanie Machado
