2025 Impact Report

16,000+ Lives Impacted

Across 30+ Communities in the Dominican Republic

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we close 2025, we want to sincerely thank you. This year was not easy—it was a year of challenges, financial pressure, and major changes.

New policies and legal changes in our country significantly impacted several of our programs and required us to make meaningful adjustments so we could continue serving people who, due to their immigration status, had limited or no access to basic services such as healthcare.

Even in the middle of these challenges, your generosity helped Light A Candle DR continue bringing health, dignity, food, and hope to vulnerable communities.
