Meet Rafaela

During a difficult season, even a little practical help can make the days feel less heavy.

Rafaela is courageously facing cancer while living alone in a rural community in Guerrero.

Showing up means helping with what is needed today—and staying close for tomorrow.

Thanks to purchases from Taxco Treasures and the generosity of Puptown friends and neighbors, we were able to help with some of Rafaela’s everyday needs during treatment.

The assistance mattered, but so did the message behind it: she did not have to carry this chapter entirely on her own.

Help for today. Care for tomorrow.

No neighbor should carry a hard season alone.

Kindness still lives here.
