The impact that your support makes possible

Four years later, I have a life I never imagined possible.

I arrived at IRCA CASABIERTA with a physical disability, an HIV diagnosis, and not knowing what was going to happen. The services at IRCA CASABIERTA — psychology, legal advice, Social Work, CID — were the path to a rebuilt life.
Today I underwent surgery that changed my mobility, I developed craft skills, participated in entrepreneurial fairs, and got a university scholarship.

That was possible because someone supported it. Will you be next time?
