Founder’s Story
“This fund is the realization of a dream I’ve carried in my heart for years; one I never imagined I’d be able to bring to life so soon. Life has been generous with me in ways I could never have predicted. Social media gave me the gift of independence, and with that blessing came an immediate and profound desire to give back in any way I could, to transform gratitude into action, and privilege into purpose.
Mexico was always the most natural place for this dream to begin. It is part of who I am, woven into my family, and my heart. In my travels, I have seen the difficult conditions that many children face, and it has deepened my awareness of the barriers that stand in the way of their potential. I could not ignore that reality. I felt the need to do something, to offer kindness, opportunity and hope where it is most needed.
Corazones Unidos was born from that need, and from the belief that kindness, no matter how small, has the power to ripple outward and change lives. Our initial focus is on children’s education and artistic development in underserved communities, but our mission will grow to include empowering women in the arts—a cause close to my heart, inspired by my own passion for art history, which I was lucky enough to study.
I really believe it’s essential to dedicate ourselves to work that uplifts those around us, while also nourishing our own spirit.
This is only the beginning, but it is the beginning of something I hope will grow far beyond me, carried forward by the kindness we choose to share.”

Our Mission
At Corazones Unidos, our mission is to transform the future of children in underserved communities across Mexico by providing access to quality education and the opportunities that come with it. We believe education is the foundation for growth, and when paired with the creativity of art and music, the strength of empowerment, and the bonds of community, it becomes a powerful force for change.
We envision a Mexico where every child can step into a classroom equipped with the tools they need, explore their creativity through the world of art and feel empowered to dream big, and be supported by a strong, united community. By addressing the barriers that prevent children, especially girls, from continuing their education, we aim to break cycles of inequality and create pathways to brighter, more equitable futures. Through collaboration with local partners, transparent use of resources, and a commitment to measurable impact, we strive to create lasting change: one child, one community, one act of kindness at a time.
We collaborate closely with local schools, community leaders, and partner organizations to create sustainable solutions. We aim to help build classrooms, provide resources to teachers, and mentor young learners. Our goal is to begin with education and grow toward building stronger, more vibrant communities through art, culture, and empowerment.
While education will always be at our heart, our long-term vision includes initiatives to empower women in the arts, provide disaster relief, and create infrastructure for education, art, and health. Every step is taken with purpose, transparency, and love.
