Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  How long has this group been helping children?

A.  Our group has been helping children for over 25 years. Many of our officers and directors have extensive experience in management, accounting, database design, and health care, which they use to direct the group's activities to the best advantage. Click on  "Contact Us" to see a list of board members, committee chairs and coordinators . 


Q.  How much of my donation goes to the children?

A.  ~95% of all the money that we receive or raise through fundraising events goes directly to the children. 5% is for professional fees that we pay to our accountant, attorney and auditor as well as office expenses and bank charges. 

We have no employees and none of our officers, directors, or chairs receive any payment for their services. They buy their own coffee at meetings and they buy undiscounted tickets for our events to reduce overhead to an absolute minimum. 

Thanks to the Chapala and Jocotepec DIF's, we are provided temporary quarters at their facilities for our clinics at no cost to us. Having no rent to pay helps maximize the amount of our funds which go to the children enrolled in our program. 


Q. How much must you pay out each month to support the children?

A.  Although the number of children helped has increased very little since 2012, our monthly clinic costs have risen from 85,500 pesos in 2012, to 116,500 pesos in 2013, to 142,500 pesos in 2014.

Q.  When and where are the reimbursement sessions held?

A.  We usually call the reimbursement sessions "clinics", even though we're not providing any medical services to the children. These "clinics" are where the enrolled children's parents or guardians receive reimbursement for properly documented medical expenses. Clinics open at 9:30 AM. Jocotepec has clinics on the first and third Wednesday of each month at the Jocotepec DIF. And Chapala has clinics on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at the Chapala DIF. 


Q.  I'm interested in seeing how an actual clinic works. Can I go to one to see what happens?

A.  Yes, we'd love for you to visit one of our clinics. You don't have to speak Spanish since the coordinators are bilingual. If you'd just like to watch, that's fine, but if you'd like to help, that would be very appreciated, especially in the summer months when many people are traveling. For information about a visit, including directions, please contact: 
Nicole Sergent, Clinic Director, nicolesergent@yahoo.com , 376-766-4355.
​

Q.  What if I have some questions that aren't answered here?

A.  Click on "Contact Us" for a list of the officers, board members, and committee chairs along with their e-mail addresses and phone numbers. Contact one of them and ask your question. 

All of the contacts are very friendly and if they can't help you, they will direct you to someone who can!
