Story

💛 Fundraising for Friends of Colombia for Social Aid 💛

Two and a half years ago, my life changed when I lost my husband. Since then, I’ve been raising my 4.5 years daughter on my own. Life has had its challenges, but I feel incredibly blessed to be able to support her and give her love and care.

Sadly, not every child in Colombia is as fortunate. Many grow up facing poverty, illness, and limited opportunities, without access to the medical care, education, or resources they need.

That’s why I am fundraising for Friends of Colombia for Social Aid (FOCSA).

✨ FOCSA’s mission is to improve the lives of the most disadvantaged children in Colombia. They achieve this by donating medical, educational, and other essential equipment to hospitals and institutions dedicated to helping these children.

For me, this fundraiser is more than a challenge. It’s a way to heal, to

my journey, and to give back to the children of my country — children who deserve a brighter, healthier, and safer future.

🌟 Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. Together, we can bring hope, care, and opportunity to Colombian children who need it most.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💛

With love and gratitude,

Sofia

🌟This Autumn, I will be taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon and raising funds for a vital cause. Thank you in advance for supporting my huge challenge and donating whatever you can, it will make a massive difference.
