The Marisol Rivas Foundation
With continued support from donors like you, we can make a significant difference in the lives of women impacted by breast cancer and families experiencing domestic violence.
We provide bras and external breast prostheses to women who are suffering the trauma of their mastectomies and its psychological effects. Delivering mastectomy supplies and fitting services to these impoverished communities, with your financial support, allows women to reenter society with a newfound sense of self-esteem.
The Marisol Rivas Foundation also provides support and resources to women and families impacted by domestic violence. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency reported that “violence against women is a ‘chronic’ problem.” The Foundation’s efforts are aimed at connecting victims of domestic violence with services and resources not easily found or accessible in their community.
The Marisol Rivas isn’t a one-person base foundation, it belongs to all of us as a community.
At The Marisol Rivas Foundation we believe in collaboration between other organizations and humanitarians that go beyond this commitment to bringing hope.
The Marisol Rivas Foundation's teams have very special members that are devoted and believe in the cause.
“Daryl M Davis, Krystal Feliz, Miguelina Henriquez Pilarte, and Vivían Garcia, thank you for guiding and inspiring me and showing me that together we are better, thank you for going through this journey together.”
"I invite you to join this path, this mission that is just beginning, there is a lot of work to do and many lives to change and for that to be possible, we need your help. With your contribution we will be able to provide External Breast Prostheses and special Mastectomy Pocket Bras to women survivors of Breast Cancer." Your contribution will also enable us to educate women survivors of the scourge of Domestic Violence.
