Mexico & Puerto Rico Relief Efforts October 2017 Update

Pay It Forward Project is currently organizing relief efforts to assist those affected by the devastation of Hurricanes Irma & Maria in Puerto Rico as well as those affected by the horrendous earthquakes that have recently hit Mexico.
As large scale NGOs and emergency first responders work tirelessly to restore the basic sustainable functions of these areas; Pay It Forward Project has started to organize efforts with developing partners to bring support to the affected areas after basic sustainability has been restored. We are currently assessing the immediate needs and will keep our supporters posted of our next steps.
Meanwhile if you wish to contribute to our upcoming efforts please feel free to make your on-line donation at the following the below link. If you wish your donation to be allocated to a specific project please ensure you add Puerto Rico or Mexico relief efforts under the Designation option. As always 100% of your donation go will go to the cause.
We GREATLY appreciate your continued support as we work to assist those in dire need!

Joplin, Missouri PIFP Tornado Relief Efforts

Pay It Forward Project was honored to embark on our first domestic project by helping Irving Elementary School in Joplin, Missouri as they recovered from the devastating tornado (multiple vortex EF5 rating) that ravaged the city on May 22, 2011. Irving Elementary which was destroyed during the tornado was leveled mid December with mixed emotions from all that had called it home.
Irving’s students and faculty, many of whom we got to know during our 10 days spent together last August, have an unstoppable “can do” spirit of perseverance. The school was relocated to another facility named “Washington” and with several trailers set up with classrooms they rolled up their sleeves, worked side by side and lived up to their commitment to open school on time on August 17, 2011, a mere 86 days after the tornado struck and changed so many lives. We were thrilled to be there with them when they did so! The NEW “Irvington” is thriving!
With the wonderful support of our donors Pay It Forward Project was able to equip a 3rd and 5th grade classroom with IT supplies to start their school year off in fine fashion!

During our last visit to Pakistan in 2007, we were introduced to an orphanage called Children Planet. Located in Islamabad, Children’s Planet is a non-profit organization that was founded in January 2006 to care for the orphans that resulted from the earthquake of September 2005 in Balakot, Pakistan. The Pakistani Government donated the land where the institution was built and where the organization provides education, room and board to the children that are developing their lives.

This particular program is the one that holds a special place in our hearts and is the one we are most grateful for being able to realize. We met Delores Ortiz in 2006 when we were distributing rice and beans to families in the community of Armenia. This diminutive lady of 70 years and not more than 4'9" gave our Founder Denise Bobba a bear hug of appreciation that almost took Denise's breath away! Delores is the sole bread earner for a family of 5 as her daughter was unable to work due to a serious illness that she unfortunately succumbed to 2 months after we left El Salvador in July of this year. Delores is now raising her 3 grandchildren by herself.
