💌 COMMUNITY IN ACTION 💌
This past Wednesday in the Bronx, community members of all ages came together to write handwritten cards filled with affirmations, artwork, and love for students in Manatí, Puerto Rico. These cards will be attached to donated backpacks and school supplies to create a meaningful, personal moment for each child who receives them. 🎒✨

These extraordinary efforts are credited with recognition and praise to @dabodegaunion and @theboricuanextdoor of @ninosdeboriken for raising over $5,000 (and growing!) to provide school resources for these students. Supplies will be distributed on August 13th through these organizations and your words will travel with them. 📦 

This initiative shows how powerful simply showing up can be. Whether you give your time, your presence, or your heart, your contribution matters. 

➡️ Please support these powerful efforts by following @dabodegaunion @ninosdeboriken @theboricuanextdoor — check the links in their bios to donate directly and stay updated on their community work 🇵🇷🙏🏽

🗣️ The FINAL community card creation event is happening:
📆Wednesday, August 6th 
⏰5:30–8:00 PM
📍Bronxlandia, 910 Hunts Point Ave, Bronx, NY 10474

@_the_butterflyproject has officially reached the goal of 100 cards thanks to YOU showing up in the Bronx! There are still have 140 more to go to ensure every student feels seen, celebrated, and supported.

Let’s be the change we wish to see, and be exactly who we needed when we were younger. 

Sincerely, Your 2025 @thebxpuertoricanparade Bronx Cultural Pageant Queen 🇵🇷✨
