In April we celebrated our 4th year of the KO HAMBRE (Knock Out Hunger) Program. We have cooked and delivered over 100,000 meals in the last 4 years. VWL is currently cooking and doing a door to door delivery of over 140 meals each day. Thank you to the community for the support!

These kids are the main reason we exist. They are the driving force and passion behind our work! They are our family! You don’t see them on the street or in stores or at the beach. There is a certain stigma here that comes with disabilities. We are working to change that.

Some of the disabilities of the kids we work with are autism, deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, Dandy Walker syndrome, West syndrome etc. Believe it or not, some don’t have diagnoses because it is not affordable for the family to get the proper tests done. This is another thing we are trying to change.

Reality is that a lot of our kids have severe disabilities and all we can do is give them and their families a better quality of life. Even then it is at a survival level. As of today, our organization is at a survival level. We are working hard to reach a thriving level that will increase the services we are able to provide.

Our current services: We provide diapers for those that need them, Ensure, we help with financial support for medications, Dr. visits, lab tests and transportation to Drs. and hospitals. We also provide wheelchairs, canes, walkers, crutches etc. to those in the community that need them but cannot afford them.

We are truly grateful to all of you that have helped them so far! Thank you!
