I am a Mayan from Chiapas, Mexico. Owner of C.E. Computer Repair located in Lynnwood, Washington. I ran a community program through my business where I would donate refurbished computers to low income kids. I saw the impact that I was making by providing the children with the essential tool of a computer to help them with schoolwork.
When I was young, I was one of the few kids in school who did not have a computer at home, so it was hard for me to get my homework done unless I went to a public library. In the US many people get rid of their computers that people in countries like Mexico could benefit and appreciate.
My prayer through this nonprofit is to give the children in Chiapas the skills in technology for them to have the opportunity of a career in Mexico as an alternative to fleeing to the US for a better life. Crossing the border illegally is one of the scariest journey one can make. The risk of losing your life while crossing the border is real. Many women as well as children are abducted during that journey. Making it across the border is just the beginning of a hard life as there are many roadblocks and hardships of living as an undocumented immigrant in the United States. Even if we could help at least one child with the skills of technology to obtain a career in Mexico our work would be worth it. One child’s life leads to 7 future generations of change. Thank you for your support.
With Gratitude,
Chris Esponda
