Grown Up & Giving Back
Cinthia, El Oasis alumnus, shares her story

A photo of in 2007 just after she first arrived at El OasisAfter the loss of their grandmother, Cinthia and her two sisters found themselves all alone in the world.

So it was that the Mexican Department of Children’s Services brought Cinthia and her sisters to El Oasis to start a new life.

Cinthia soon learned about God’s love, and about the world-wide family of supporters who share in that love.

“If there is a happy place for me, that’s El Oasis,” Said Cinthia. “Why? Because it gives me peace. They helped me a lot, spiritually, emotionally and in every aspect of life growing up.”

As Cinthia grew up, she discovered a desire to help others. That is when she decided, with God’s blessing, to study to become a dental surgeon.

“I’m a person who loves to smile and laugh, so I started thinking, if I have the chance, why not help more people to smile?” Cinthia said. “That was the moment when I asked God, ‘Lord, if you want me to study this, I will.’ And I had the opportunity!”

“I never thought I could go to Montemorelos University to become a dental surgeon, but God led me, and I know I can help many people now … If I’m close to El Oasis and I can support them, I know they need help, I say yes — one hundred percent!”

Cinthia’s spirit of helpfulness is a beautiful reflection of the support that you so willingly provide. There are many more children, just like Cinthia, waiting for someone to reach out with a helping hand of support. Thank you for helping the kids!

Cinthia’s story will be featured in episode number 8 of The Gathering Place video series. This video will be available in the near future.
