HANDS THAT SURVIVE - MANOS QUE SOBREVIVEN

In 2011, in appreciation for safely crossing the border, and finding a job and a place to live, an undocumented immigrant decided to help the less fortunate by preparing food and serving it to people living on the streets in downtown Los Angeles. Shortly after he was joined by a retired civil servant who helped widen the effort and expand the vision. 

2013 Manos held a fund-raiser and with resources began looking for new ways to help. They founded an orphanage called EUNIME in Tijuana for children who are abandoned by their families because they are HIV-positive. This began a special relationship with EUNIME and brought Alberto back to his roots as a child in Tijuana and laid the foundation for Manos’ mission today. 

2017 Alberto began working for a non-profit called Very Human whose mission is to “increase the health, well-being, and livelihood of people living with HIV/Aids.”

2018 Manos Que Sobreviven received non-profit status as a 501 (3)(c) corporation.
