A Letter from Micheal & Jaclyn

It’s hard to believe we are at the close of yet another year. 2017 was filled with so much growth within the children and communities, but also for Marked. This year, we hit our goal of providing over 200,000 meals, with over 6,000 lbs of that being protein to those we reach, both in homes and villages. Because of our local school and business partners in the greater Guadalajara area, we were also able to provide and sell 11,000 lbs of clothing at our Marked store (for 1 peso each) which allowed for greater impact at our events in our village communities, the feeding programs, and kept the doors of the village school open all because the community chose to get involved. It’s with much excitement that we also tell you that between our homes, and village communities, we have 1,800 children enrolled in school this year! Some of the highest numbers the schools have ever seen. This is all because of you, our partners! Thousands of pounds of school supplies were distributed, tuitions paid, all because of you. Changing an entire generation of once forgotten children to go further than they would have dreamed.

With close to 11,000 in the Marked community, you are making an impact for greater than we could ever express in one letter. So please, we invite you to come and experience this for yourself in 2018! See the impact you are making day in and day out. Meet the faces, and hear the stories first hand. Your seed of generosity is growing into the most beautiful garden one ever saw. The government is taking notice, and the impact is expanding.

So it is once again that we come to you at the close of the year and ask you to consider Marked in your 2017 year-end giving. It is because of you, our generous partners, that we have had the success and are seeing such transformation throughout the region. 100% of your donations are tax-deductible and go directly towards the work we do. We cannot thank you enough for your commitment to us and to our children. There are not enough words to express our gratitude. 

With love and Merry Christmas,

Micheal and Jaclyn Miller, and the Marked Family
