Victoria — A Hardworking Mom in Need of a Safe Home
Victoria is a dedicated employee at Lifestyle Resort, currently working at the Terrace. She’s a single mother raising her baby entirely on her own. With no family support—no parents, no siblings—she faces every challenge alone, balancing work and motherhood with quiet strength.
Despite her circumstances, Victoria shows up every day with determination and grace. Several kind-hearted people have asked if the Dominican Starfish Foundation could help her build a home—a safe, stable place where she and her baby can thrive.
This is a chance to change a life. To give a mother and child the security they’ve never had. If you feel moved to help, your support could make all the difference.
We asked her to share her story.
My name is Victoria, and I’m asking for your help—not just to survive, but to build a future.
I live in a small, rented space in the Dominican Republic with my baby. It’s the only shelter we have, but the rent has just gone up beyond what I can afford. I work hard to support us, but I also have to pay for babysitting so I can go to work. I’m doing this alone. I have no parents, no family to help me care for my child or share the burden.
That’s why I’m asking for something bigger: the chance to build a small, safe home of our own. A place where my baby can grow up without fear of eviction. A place where we can plant roots and dream beyond survival.
Your support will go directly toward:
Even the smallest donation brings us closer to a stable, secure life. If you can’t give, sharing this story is a powerful way to help.
Thank you for believing in us. With your help, we can turn hope into a home.
With love and gratitude,
Victoria.
WE ARE SO BLESSED THAT VICTORIA HAS AN ANONYMOUS SPONSOR WHO WILL BE MATCHING UP TO $10,000 TO HELP HER!
This means that 200% of what you give will bless her and her little one.
Your donation will qualify for charitable tax receipts in Canada or the USA.
