The President’s Message

Dear LACA Family Wow! This year is quickly ebbing away. As one frog said to the other, “time’s fun when you’re having flies!” But seriously, so much is going on in our world that it’s difficult to keep track and continue with our sanity! Crises abound and I also think it goes by really slow when a crisis arises and uncertainty weighs heavily on our minds. All you have to do is turn on your radio or television or the news feed on your smart phone and you can certainly feel the uncertainty in our world. The recent happenings this year are a sad reminder of the trials and tribulations that exist in our world. But, it is an even better reminder of the goodness that exists. The people come together to protect and help those that are in need. Strangers helping strangers. Carrying each other. In the past, holding hands and arms around each other but now from a safe distance. It does not matter what side of politics you are on or what your beliefs are, incredible hearts and souls of people come to the forefront. You, my friends, are like those people. Your hearts and souls have always come forward to help those in need through LACA. When we have asked you for help you have always come forward for us and we thank you so much for this. As you will read in some of our articles, your donations are changing lives for the better. Without you, this would not be possible. On behalf of our entire LACA board we want you to know how much we appreciate it. Words cannot even express our gratitude. Your donations big or small do make a huge difference for those who are impoverished. Remember that approximately 95% of your donation goes directly to the project or recipient in need. That is incredible. LACA needs you today. Please consider donating to any of the various causes that LACA stands for. Your continued support is heroic to the people that you reach. Your generous donations save lives, change lives, encourage the forgotten, and strengthen the underprivileged. I hope that you will take a moment and help us at LACA to reach the unreachable and spread hope to those who have lost it.  As I have said before, what does matter is that you are willing to help in any way you can!  Remember that your generosity will directly benefit someone who genuinely needs your support.  LACA indeed is a wonderful foundation where you can really make a difference for someone. Wishes can come true through you! Remember your generous donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Sincerely, Kevin Sheil President, LACA Foundation

The Founder’s Message

LACA’s mission, since the very beginning, has always been focused toward the poorest of the poor. Initially, we began our efforts in Honduras, the most poverty-stricken country of Latin America. Later we spread to six other countries: Haiti, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala, and Panama. During my term as founder and board president, we financed 35 water systems; funded homes for the poor; educated promising, poor youngsters; and took medical teams to the medically under served. LACA also supported an empowerment of women program in Panama and funded a daycare center in the poor area of Ciudad Delgado in El Salvador. My vision is that LACA continues to focus its efforts on the poorest and less fortunate of Latin America. Yours, Lillian R. Trillo, Founder and President Emerita
