That's the number of young lives touched by you and the largest supporter of orphaned and abandoned children in Baja Mexico,

Corazon de Vida.

Please play the movie above and if you like what you see, join us in our efforts
to help the precious children.

It is unbelievable the challenges CDV has to overcome to carry out our mission of helping our children. The economy, unrest in Baja, and now the virus has taken a toll on our ability to raise funds so that we can continue to sustain life at the orphanages.
We are not giving up! 750 kids rely on us for their sustenance every month. Join us in our mission...become a CDV Monthly Sponsor! Sign up to be a monthly sponsor at $10, $25, $50....or any amount you can contribute. A little money goes a long way in Baja, Mexico. You have the power to make a difference in a child's life. Your donation could possibly change everything for one child.

CDV Online Donation Campaign

Most of you know first hand the work that Corazon de Vida is able to do with your donations. You have visited our homes and have seen our kids go from fear and despair to joy, wonder and possibility. To continue our good work, we need your help now more than ever! We need to raise life-sustaining support for these kids and the easiest, most fun way to do that is by creating your own online pledge campaign. Do you have a birthday coming up? Have your friends donate to CDV instead of a tie or purse! Running a race? Collect pledges from family and friends to support you. Are you going to join us on an orphanage trip?
