At the beginning, the mission was sustained almost individually, thanks to the generosity of family, friends and other benefactors who know Fernando personally and his commitment to the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n

It is in March 2022 when, encouraged by Fernando’s testimony and witnessing on the ground the immense impact of his work, a group of family and friends decided to set up a “counterpart” to provide material and financial aid to be channeled from Spain for the support of the Mission.<\/p>\n

This is how HIJOS DE MAR\u00cdA, ESPA\u00d1A, was born on March 19, 2022, registered as a non-profit association in the National Registry of Associations and pending declaration of Public Utility (until 2024 the processing is not possible, since at least 2 years after its constitution).<\/p>\n
