My Story…

Hi Family and friends,

I have joined the Samaritan Foundation team to walk on Oct 17th (in 2 weeks!), to help raise funds for an amazing vision.

For over 30 years, my parents gave their lives to serving those in need in the Dominican Republic—building homes, churches, schools, community centres, and establishing 16 villages along the way.

Though they are no longer with us, their vision to serve children and families in need lives on through the ongoing work of the Samaritan Foundation.

My folks’ final vision was to see a hospital where no child could ever be refused.
That was the initial birth pangs of the Grace Paediatric and family hospital.

Significant progress has been made, but additional funds are still needed for hospital infrastructure, medical equipment, and other essentials to bring this vision to completion.

Our support for this project will change the lives of children and families for years to come. I invite you to join me in this opportunity to carry forward my parents’ vision and make a lasting difference in this underserved community.

For every dollar raised, our family will make a matching donation.

Thank you so much for considering this request and for being part of this dream.

And, if  you just want to be blessed, google Elio Madonia and The Samaritan Foundation and see what God can do through a couple that makes their hearts soft and available!
