ANDREA´S CHILDREN HOME FOUNDATION
A HOME OF HOPE
UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI HEALTH STUDIES STUDENT ASSOCIATION – UMHSSA supports our foundation by exposing students to philanthropy and charity through different events. This year UMHSSA´s VP of Philanthropy is a close friend. Congratulations Andrea on your nomination.
Andrea Cordoba is a pre-med Junior from Sebring, FL. You may notice that our philanthropy and her name bare the same name and it is no coincidence.
Andrea shares this story: “my moms best friends daughter, Andrea Villanueva, was diagnosed with leukemia and passed away shortly before I was born. In order to honor her, my mom decided to name me after her. A few years later, her mom, Maria Clara, started Fundacion Andrea- a home for impoverished children with cancer in Barranquilla. It was my honor to be able to partner HSSA and this philanthropy that is so close to my heart, and I hope that we can really make a difference this year by raising money and awareness for this cause.”
Thanks to UMHSSA´s huge compromise and great work we keep moving toward our dream.
