Our Path

Today (late 2026)

Angie Nichole Rivadeneira leads. She is from Ecuador and is earning her CMA certification in Philadelphia (not finished; not a license for this work).

The mission is to help underprivileged people. We begin with kids and families already here, starting in Atlanta. Over time we aim to support women, mothers, older adults, and others in need, and to connect people exploring legal pathways to the United States with licensed immigration attorneys. Future housing support for underprivileged families in Ecuador and El Salvador is part of the long-term vision.

We start in Atlanta, then Philadelphia, then farther. One charity.

Philadelphia is where the charity took shape during six months of living there. California is a planned next area because Alyssa M. Ticas is based there.

Practical early steps in Georgia can include helping with Thanksgiving meals at local churches for families with children, and similar low-key community support. These are done carefully while the charity is still being formed.

Angie leads as a volunteer. Any real costs she has can be reimbursed personally. No job exists yet.

Any visa or immigration questions are referred only to a licensed immigration attorney. This is not a law firm and not legal advice.

Fast-track foundation (next 6–12 months)

Run legal formation and early practical work in parallel:

• Retain counsel and file Georgia articles as soon as the board (majority outside directors) is ready.
• Obtain EIN and submit 501(c)(3) application promptly.
• Register for solicitation in Georgia before any public ask.
• Continue small, careful help in Atlanta (holiday meals and similar) while paperwork moves.
• 2027 specific goal: repair the roof and remodel a family home in Ecuador once funding is available and the charity is registered (or handle it at the family level until then). This can serve as an early, scoped example of future housing work. It is not a current public program.

Target: registered entity with its own bank account by late 2027 if outside directors and filings move quickly.

Years 1–2 after registration (target 2027–2029)

• Proper funding can begin once the charity has its own accounts and books.
• The board can approve a modest paid role for Angie (part-time program leadership) once funds exist.
• Expand Atlanta support and open Philadelphia work for kids and families already here.
• Document outcomes.
• Continue attorney-only referrals for immigration questions.
• Any future employment-based immigration options will be evaluated only through a licensed immigration attorney and the full legal process. No employment without valid work authorization.

Years 2–4 (target 2029–2031)

• Shift more focus to the charity as resources grow.
• Board reviews purpose expansion for housing and shelter support.
• Launch first carefully scoped housing pilots in Ecuador (building on the 2027 family step).
• Start El Salvador planning once the Ecuador pilot is stable.
• Grow Angie’s role and compensation as funding supports it.
• Keep all immigration support as referral to licensed attorneys only.

Years 4–7 (target 2031–2034)

• Functioning multi-location operations.
• Housing work in Ecuador and El Salvador expands only with funding, local partners, and compliance.
• Legal immigration pathway support continues strictly through attorney referrals. Any employment-based options stay limited to qualified people who obtain authorization first.
• Sustainable funding mix in place (compliant grants and support; public donations only when fully ready).
• Professional reporting and measured outcomes.
• Goal: a real, lasting charity that began with kids and families already here, added housing support in Ecuador and El Salvador, and helped families access only legal immigration options through proper channels. This is the legacy we are building.
