Tomas Tomas Charity Profile

In 1993 Mari Quihuis-Sawyer, who traveled throughout Mexico years before, found a little Mexican girl to help. She started sponsoring Marisol, a five-year-old girl who lives in the village of Alamos in Sonora, Mexico. Helping support this little girl through Save the Children and FAI (Fundacion de Apoyo Infantil Sonora) added to her sense of community. Many letters went back and forth as Marisol grew up. Although, Mari had two beautiful twin boys (Adam & Jacob) during her life, she dreamed of having a little girl. Mari had terminal breast cancer - Sponsoring Marisol was Mari's way of giving something to the little girl of her dreams. Three years later Mari passed on - Mari's husband, Tom Sawyer, continued to sponsor and write to Marisol.
