Liliana's fundraiser for Esperanza Health Centers

Chicago Marathon 2025 · 12 October 2025 · Start fundraising for this event
Healthcare should be accessible, compassionate, and inclusive. But for many in Chicago’s South Side, finding quality care has long been a challenge. Esperanza Health Centers is changing that.
As someone who has struggled to find a primary care provider due to back-to-back bad experiences—doctors who dismissed my concerns and left me feeling unheard—I know firsthand how life-changing access to healthcare can be. Esperanza was the first place where I felt truly listened to, valued, and cared for. They don’t just treat symptoms; they treat people with dignity, respect, and complete compassion.
Since opening its doors in 2004, Esperanza has grown from a single clinic in Little Village to seven sites, serving more than 50,000 patients a year. Their bilingual, high-quality healthcare has become a beacon of hope for families who might otherwise go without care.
But they can’t do it alone.
Your donation helps ensure that more individuals and families—regardless of income or immigration status—have access to the medical care they deserve. Every dollar supports vital services like pediatric care, mental health support, prenatal care, and chronic disease management for those who need it most.
Join me in supporting Esperanza Health Centers. Because healthcare isn’t a privilege—it’s a right.
I am beyond grateful that a place like this exists in our community. And now, I’m asking for your help to make sure it continues to thrive.
Donate today and be a part of something truly life-changing!
