As I lace up my running shoes and prepare for the 2024 Chicago Half Marathon, I am fueled by a deep sense of purpose. On the southwest side of Chicago, thousands of low-income individuals are facing a daunting reality - affordable, quality healthcare is unattainable. This is where Esperanza Health Centers steps in, providing high quality, affordable care to all, regardless of income, insurance, or immigration status. Our mission is clear: To deliver health and hope for Chicago’s underserved communities. With your support, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.

I have set a fundraising goal of $500 for this cause. Your generous contribution will directly impact our ability to continue providing essential healthcare services to those in need. Every dollar brings us closer to ensuring that no one is left behind when it comes to their health and well-being.
