The GFS Foundation, in partnership with Dr. Cacau, is committed to assisting low-income families, children with disabilities, and patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment through our weekly family assistance program.
Our program not only provides them with basic necessities but also offers emotional support that many of these families desperately need. Over the past four years, we have had the honor of assisting more than 1500 families. However, to continue making a positive impact, we need your support. By becoming a monthly donor for as little as $5, you can help us make a lasting difference in the lives of those most in need. All donations are tax-deductible, and we invite you to follow our community activities on social media to see how your contribution is changing lives. Your support could be all it takes to help a family in crisis. At the Global Family Support Foundation, we are proud to be assisting a patient who is dealing with chronic foot disease. In some cases, this disease can lead to foot amputation, unless a suitable alternative can be found. Fortunately, our team is here to provide support and help her journey of recovery.
The disease affects various factors, and it is important to understand that foot amputation may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection, relieve pain or improve mobility. Unfortunately, this patient does not have access to proper healthcare, transportation or a caregiver. That is why we are committed to helping her establish goals for gradual recovery. We strive to ensure she has access to the care she needs and create an environment where she can remain comfortable and safe throughout her healing journey. This includes providing physical therapy treatments as needed, medication management and emotional support from our team of professionals. We also strive to provide educational materials about how best to manage chronic foot disease so that our patient can take control of her health and stay informed about her condition every step of the way. We believe that by providing comprehensive support and information, our patient will gain the knowledge she needs in order to make decisions about her future treatment and lifestyle choices that work best for her individual needs. Our goal is always to provide support while creating an atmosphere of inclusion, respect and understanding at all times. We are very proud of our efforts at the Global Family Support Foundation in assisting this brave patient on her journey towards recovery. With our support system and resources in place, we hope that she can live life without fear or worry despite facing challenging circumstances along the way!
The Importance of Sports and Arts:
Sports and arts can play a crucial role in a child's development. They can help with physical fitness, coordination, and discipline, among other things. They can also boost self-esteem and provide a creative outlet. Unfortunately, many children from low-income families miss out on these benefits because they can't afford to participate in these activities. How the Global Family Support Foundation Helps: The Global Family Support Foundation provides financial assistance to young athletes in low-income families so that they can participate in sports and arts programs. In addition to providing funding, the foundation also offers mentorship and guidance so that these children can reach their full potential. It's important to support young athletes in low-income families so that they can have the same opportunities as their wealthier counterparts. The Global Family Support Foundation is one organization that is making a difference by providing financial assistance, mentorship, and guidance to these deserving children.
What Can I Deduct?
The IRS allows taxpayers to deduct any cash or property donations made to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations. This includes donations made through payroll deductions, as well as donations of appreciated securities or real estate. It's important to note that, in order for a donation to be deductible, it must be made directly to the organization and not through a third-party such as GoFundMe or Kickstarter. Additionally, the IRS imposes limits on the amount that can be deducted in any given year. For cash donations, the limit is 60% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). For property donations, the limit is 30% of your AGI. However, any excess donations can be carried forward and deducted in future years until the total amount donated reaches the AGI limit for that year. Donate Now!

Families are the cornerstone of our society. They provide us with love, support, and stability. But not all families are able to do that. Some families are struggling just to get by. Many don't have enough money to put food on the table, let alone buy presents for their loved ones during the holidays. That's where we come in.
The Global Family Support Foundation is dedicated to helping those families in need. We provide them with basic necessities like food and clothing, but we also give them access to resources that can help them get back on their feet. We provide job training, financial counseling, and other services that can help them break the cycle of poverty and build a better future for themselves and their children. Lack of access to food is a global problem that affects millions of people every day. In fact, according to the United Nations, over 821 million people worldwide suffer from hunger. That's one in nine people who do not have enough to eat. Here at the Global Family Support Foundation, we believe that no one should go hungry. We know that we can't do this alone; we need your help. That's why we've set up our family adoption program, whereby supporters can donate to sponsor a specific family for one month. Your donation goes towards providing a hot meal for the sponsored family every day. Just $30 sponsors one family for an entire month, which comes out to just $1 per day. Won't you please consider adopting a family today? Visit our website and choose DONATE. Together, we can make sure that no one goes hungry.
Autism is a mental disorder that is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication, as well as repetitive behaviors. People with autism often have difficulty understanding or responding to the emotions of others, and they may also engage in repetitive behaviors, such as rocking or spinning. While the cause of autism is not yet known, it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Autism spectrum disorder affects people of all races and ethnicities, but it is four times more likely to occur in boys than girls. Autism can be diagnosed as early as 18 months old, but most children are not diagnosed until they are four years old or older. There is no single autism test, but doctors use a combination of behavioral observations, developmental screenings, and diagnostic tests to make a diagnosis. There is no cure for autism, but there are treatments that can help improve symptoms and quality of life. Considerations about autism as a human include early diagnosis and treatment options. Dr. Doris D. Restrepo on Autism and Diversity: When most people think of diversity, they think of race, gender, or ethnicity. However, diversity is so much more than that. It's about inclusion and understanding. It's about celebrating our differences and learning from one another. Dr. Doris D. Restrepo is a doctorate in diversity, and she has a lot to say on the topic of autism. What is Autism? Autism is a neurological disorder that affects the way a person communicates and interact with others. Autism is not a disease, but it is considered a condition. The cause of autism is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. There are many different types of autism, and the symptoms can range from mild to severe. The social view of autism has changed over the years. In the past, autism was seen as a mental illness or a result of bad parenting. However, we now know that autism is not something that can be cured or fixed. Autism is simply a different way of seeing the world. And that's okay! In fact, many people with autism are able to lead happy and successful lives. What is Diversity? Diversity is about inclusion and understanding. It's about celebrating our differences and learning from one another. Diversity includes race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, age, national origin, and more. Diversity is what makes us unique and special. When it comes to diversity and inclusion, we need to remember that everyone deserves to be respected and valued for who they are. We all have something special to offer the world, and we should strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves. By understanding and accepting our differences, we can learn from one another and make the world a better place for all. Diversity is so much more than just race or gender. It's about inclusion and understanding. It's about celebrating our differences and learning from one another. Dr. Doris D. Restrepo has dedicated her life to teaching others about diversity through her work as an educator and author. She wrote the book "A Look at Autism Through The Lenses of Diversity." In her work, Dr..Restrepo strives to teach others about the importance of inclusion and respect for all people. "We all have something special to offer the world," she says, "and we should strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves." By understanding and accepting our differences, we can learn from one another and make the world a better place for all."
The Global Family Support Foundation is thrilled to announce that Luis Miguel has joined our team. Luis Miguel is a highly skilled engineer with experience in the treatment of industrial wastewater and potabilization. We are working together to make a difference in the way industrial wastewater is treated and make sure that potable water is accessible to everyone. The Problem with Industrial Wastewater:
Industrial wastewater typically contains a variety of harmful chemicals and pollutants. If not treated properly, this wastewater can seep into the ground and contaminate groundwater supplies, putting everyone at risk. In addition, when this wastewater is released into the environment, it can harm plant and animal life. That's why it's so important to have someone on our team who knows how to properly treat industrial wastewater. What We're Doing about It: With Luis Miguel on our team, we are confident that we can make a difference in the way industrial wastewater is treated. He has already helped us develop a plan to build a treatment facility that will remove harmful chemicals and pollutants from the water before it is released back into the environment. This will ensure that the water is safe for plant and animal life and won't pose a threat to groundwater supplies. We're also working on a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of proper industrial wastewater treatment. We know that many people are not aware of the dangers of releasing untreated wastewater into the environment. By raising awareness, we hope to encourage more industries to adopt proper treatment methods so that we can protect our planet and its inhabitants. We are so pleased to have Luis Miguel on our team as we work to make a difference in the way industrial wastewater is treated. With his help, we are confident that we can make our waterways safe for all plant and animal life and protect everyone's access to clean, potable water. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our work! Special thanks to our Volunteers in Manizales for the great accomplishments with the local community.
