When people ask what inspired me to start the nonprofit organization, The Hands and Feet of Christ Jesus, I take them back to February 2020, just before the COVID pandemic. I’ve always traveled for work and pleasure, and that month I visited Cuba, just a short flight from my home in Tampa, FL. I had heard wonderful things about the people and culture, which I found to be true. However, I also witnessed extreme poverty and isolation, far greater than in other countries I had visited.

The experience deeply affected me, and as I prayed to God, I felt Him calling me to care for His children. Initially, I struggled to fully understand the message, trying to intellectualize it, as many of us do. But after a few more trips to Cuba and opening my heart, I realized the clarity and simplicity of His message. God was calling me to act, and I became obedient to His command to care for His children of Cuba. I let go of any concerns about the outcome, trusting that God would guide the size and impact of my efforts. I simply surrendered to His will and took action.
