Who We Are Gathering

Our mission at Find Your Path is to gather resilient youth and families to share their light with the world. This month, we have gathered with some incredible people!


Live Your Mission Group

The first group we welcomed this summer was from Live Your Mission Trips.

They were exactly the kind of people we hope to work with! They were kind, resilient, hard-working, focused, and had such love for God that it shone through each of them.

We still have some spots left for this year and next year's trips. We'd love for you to come visit!

A Happy "Coincidence"

In the last email, I told you about Edwin coming to live with us. The day after he arrived I sat down with him to go over his goals while he is with us. One of the things he hopes to do is finish High School and then become a lawyer.

He wants to be a lawyer because he saw many children's rights violated in the system, and he wants to be someone who speaks up for kids.

I asked a friend how to help him get his degree, and she told me a couple drives to Solferino from Playa Del Carmen twice a week solely to help adults get their diploma. This tiny town is the only place in this area where this help is offered.

Just a 5-minute bike ride from us.

I still can't explain or understand why they chose Solferino of all places. But I do know that God knew Edwin would be here and prepared a way for him to accomplish what he is setting out to do.

If you'd like to help Sponsor Edwin (help me pay him for the work he is doing on campus so that he can buy school and barber supplies and help pay for gas for the couple who comes to teach), you can help with the following link:

We were in the news!

There is an incredible woman here in Solferino who ran a summer program for the kids. We were able to help her with her a few times and we were in the news. The article said our visits were the highlight of the summer program <3

Thank You!

None of this would be possible without your donations, visits, and support. Thank you for trusting us and being part of this work. We love you, our Find Your Path family.

With gratitude,

Karen and the Find Your Path Team
