Sponsor finds solace from grief through bonding with sponsored friend

Longtime sponsor Jimmy Arreaga took an Unbound Awareness Trip to Guatemala in early 2025 to meet his sponsored friend María Alexandra and her family. The experience helped him cope with the grief he was feeling over the loss of a loved one and gave him renewed purpose in his walk with María Alexandra as she works to overcome poverty.
