No pueden defenderse por s\u00ed mismos. No pueden extender un cheque. No pueden votar. No pueden entrar en una sala como esta y pedir ayuda. Ese es nuestro trabajo. Esa es nuestra responsabilidad\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/reachingtheunreached.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/chris-lazzara-600.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Lazzara, founding board member of Reaching The Unreached\" style=\"width:350px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chris Lazzara, miembro fundador de la junta directiva de Reaching The Unreached.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris no pudo acompa\u00f1arnos en persona, pero su convicci\u00f3n se hizo sentir entre todos. Cuando Chris conoci\u00f3 Reaching the Unreached, no se limit\u00f3 a enviar un cheque y seguir adelante. Contribuy\u00f3 a construir nuestra organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro e inspir\u00f3 a quienes lo rodeaban a comprometerse tambi\u00e9n con nuestra misi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReaching the Unreached no es una simple meta. Es una convicci\u00f3n\u201d, dijo Rachel a la multitud. \u201cEstos ni\u00f1os cuentan con que los adultos decidan que importan. Me niego a ser una adulta que mira hacia otro lado\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hace dos a\u00f1os, Rachel explic\u00f3 que ella misma comenz\u00f3 a apadrinar a dos ni\u00f1os a trav\u00e9s de RTU. Joshua y Joel: \u201cPens\u00e9 que estaba haciendo algo generoso. Pens\u00e9 que estaba ayudando a alguien a salir adelante. Pens\u00e9 que el regalo flu\u00eda en una sola direcci\u00f3n, de m\u00ed hacia ellos. Nunca me he equivocado tanto en mi vida\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/reachingtheunreached.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rachel-sivaperagas-600.jpg\" alt=\"Rachel Sivaperagas at Dare to Dream\" style=\"width:260px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rachel Sivaperagas, jefa de gabinete de MountainStar Partners, comparte su historia en Dare to Dream.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joshua y Joel son dos ni\u00f1os alegres y cari\u00f1osos a los que les encanta el f\u00fatbol. En medio de las dificultades, encuentran en un bal\u00f3n, un partido y los momentos compartidos una forma de sonre\u00edr, jugar y sentirse libres. Para ellos, el f\u00fatbol no es solo un juego. Es un refugio, un espacio donde pueden olvidar sus preocupaciones por un momento y simplemente volver a ser ni\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Viven con sus tres hermanas y sus padres en un hogar lleno de amor, pero tambi\u00e9n marcado por una situaci\u00f3n muy dolorosa. Su madre, Viki, padece una enfermedad que ha cambiado la vida de toda la familia. Recientemente supo que su tumor cerebral ha avanzado considerablemente y ya no se puede operar. Es una realidad dif\u00edcil de aceptar, sobre todo para una madre que piensa cada d\u00eda en el bienestar de sus cinco hijos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pesar del miedo, el cansancio y la incertidumbre, Viki sigue luchando por su familia. Su amor la impulsa a encontrar fuerzas donde a menudo parece que no queda ninguna, y a proteger a sus hijos de una realidad demasiado dura para ellos. Cada d\u00eda se convierte en una nueva batalla, pero tambi\u00e9n en una oportunidad para abrazarlos, estar con ellos y recordarles que no est\u00e1n solos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/reachingtheunreached.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/joel-600.jpg\" alt=\"Joel, one of the two boys Rachel sponsors through RTU, at a community outreach event\" style=\"width:260px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Uno de los dos chicos a los que Rachel apadrina, en un evento de extensi\u00f3n comunitaria de RTU.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/reachingtheunreached.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/joshua-600.jpg\" alt=\"One of the two boys Rachel sponsors through RTU, at a community outreach event\" style=\"width:260px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Uno de los dos chicos a los que Rachel apadrina, en un evento de extensi\u00f3n comunitaria de RTU.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joshua y Joel, con sus sonrisas, su alegr\u00eda y su inocencia, demuestran la fortaleza que puede residir en el coraz\u00f3n de un ni\u00f1o. No siempre comprenden del todo lo que sucede. Sienten las preocupaciones de su hogar, y aun as\u00ed conservan la capacidad de jugar, so\u00f1ar y encontrar la felicidad en las cosas m\u00e1s sencillas. Su risa es una luz para su familia y la prueba de que, incluso en los momentos m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles, la esperanza puede mantenerse viva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lo que los chicos le devolvieron no tiene precio, y le brind\u00f3 una perspectiva que jam\u00e1s habr\u00eda obtenido en una sala de juntas. Patrocinar a Joel y Joshua le permiti\u00f3 a Rachel presenciar de cerca lo que significa enfrentarse a adversidades imposibles. Como comparti\u00f3 Rachel, RTU sirve como recordatorio de que la resiliencia no es un concepto de liderazgo. Esta cualidad reside en los ni\u00f1os que se despiertan cada ma\u00f1ana en circunstancias que ninguno de nosotros elegir\u00eda, y perseveran. Siguen aspirando a algo mejor y mantienen la esperanza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rachel explic\u00f3 que cada noticia que recibe sobre Joshua y Joel la hace sentir menos como una patrocinadora y m\u00e1s como testigo de algo sagrado. Rachel dijo que el hecho de que un ni\u00f1o descubra que alguien cree en \u00e9l marca una gran diferencia en su vida, y que vale la pena ayudar a los ni\u00f1os que reciben apoyo a trav\u00e9s de Reaching the Unreached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo necesitaban que yo los salvara\u201d, dijo Rachel. \u201cNecesitaban que alguien apareciera. Hay una diferencia abismal entre ambas cosas, y RTU me la demostr\u00f3. Les prometo que, al igual que Joshua y Joel hicieron por m\u00ed, les devolver\u00e1n mucho m\u00e1s de lo que ustedes les dieron\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siga este enlace para apoyar a Reaching the Unreached.
