CDV Highlights
 
10-25-50
 
For the cost of a $10 movie ticket on a Saturday night, CDV can feed a child for 3 days. For the cost of a $25 seat at Dodger Stadium, CDV can fill a cavity to relieve dental pain. A $50 haircut can pay tuition for 2 kindergarten students for one month. Take a step back and look at the unessential things we spend money on each month and imagine what this can do for a child.
 
We have created new recurring monthly donation options on our website for $10, $25 and $50 in addition to our full child sponsorship of $62.50. We understand that these are difficult times for everyone, but if we can sacrifice a movie ticket or new hairstyle at least once per month, you will give hope to a hopeless child.  These have been challenging months for us but with our dedicated sponsors, we have not lowered our support to any of the orphanages. Stand by our side, become a recurring CDV sponsor and help us continue our monthly support for 750 children each month. Click HERE to make a difference.

Orphanage Trips
 
43 volunteers from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego joined us on July 11 to visit the children at the Hacienda Orphanage. As usual, the kids gave us more than we could have possibly give to them. Thanks to new sponsor ACTIVATE WATER who provided a cool refreshing drink for the ride home, it was another perfect and fun day visiting the kids.
 
Join us on our next trip on Saturday August 15 to the El Faro Orphanage. 50 children will be waiting for you to play, hug, be carried, and to share a great meal with them. For more information and to register, please click HERE, check out the Trip Overview Video and article on our super fun and humbling trips.

How You Can Help
 
EDUCATION  
Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to educate all of the children who want to go to school this year. We need to make a decision between sustaining a life or educating a child and we believe that if we can keep a child from going to bed hungry, that tomorrow will be better. Help us make the future brighter, please help us educate a child TODAY.
 

CDV NEEDS
We need a lightweight projector that can be connected to a laptop for our presentations. We are busy scheduling talks for corporate, clubs, groups, churches and other organizations, but we need a projector. Can you help?
 

CDV IN HOUSE VOLUNTEERS
Do you have free time and want to help us in our office in Irvine? We are looking for detail oriented, punctual, dedicated students, housewives, or seniors who can assist with our administration duties. Email info@corazondevida.org if you can help.
 

VEHICLES
The orphanages need vehicles. Instead of trading in your car, please consider donating it to us. We will give you a tax receipt and deliver it to an orphanage. We only ask that it is in good operating shape and it is safe to drive. Email info@corazondevida.org if you can help.
