Vaneza María Medina Orejuela

Community Coordinator

I have been with my husband José Junior Mosquera Palacios for 30 years. We have 3 blessings…Angie Nahomi, Junior Ferdinand, and Luis Miguel Mosquera Medina.

I started receiving help from the foundation in 2015. Two years later, they asked me to participate as Coordinator of Buenaventura. As I love to serve, I accepted immediately. I always wanted to do it but I did not have the financial means. I told my daughter this is my opportunity to serve and do something for the children of my city since there is a lot of poverty here and neglect by the government.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and it metastasized to my brain and thanks to my Heavenly Father he has blessed me with a medical team that works hard as instruments of God in his hands and here I am. I have great support from my husband who helps me deliver the nutrients when I am in the clinic. I call the mommies and give them the training while he delivers them. As coordinator, I thank you very much for the training that I and the moms have received.

I am also very grateful to the foundation for blessing us to go to a training in Cusco in 2000. It was my first time traveling by plane. It was fun to get to know other coordinators. it was like a happiness therapy and it helped me a lot in my recovery from my illness that was in all its fury.

I thank you for making me part of the Bountiful Children’s Foundation team. Thank you for helping bless so many families who need it so much.

A thousand thanks from me and from the Mommies and Daddy’s. A big hug. God Bless you. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
