At RCMA, we believe every child deserves a bright future, no matter where their journey begins. Our mission is to provide quality early childhood education and support to families in need, especially those in rural areas of Florida. For two young boys from Mexico, their lives have been profoundly impacted by the support and care they’ve received from RCMA.
Meet Alexis and Alexander, precocious twin boys with an incredible story of survival and hope. Born in Mexico, they’ve lived challenging lives in their young years, starting life with a single mother, doing what she could to provide for them. But life took a tragic turn when their mother went missing, leaving the boys in the care of relatives who were determined to find a better future for them.
In their quest for a better life, a family friend tried to help Alexis and Alexander embark on what turned out to be a harrowing journey to the United States. They were detained by immigration authorities and spent several weeks in uncertainty, their futures hanging in the balance. Fortunately, with all of the turmoil surrounding them, the boy’s aunt in Florida stepped forward, graciously accepting the task of caring for them.
When the boys arrived in Florida, their aunt turned to RCMA for help. RCMA’s dedication to serving migrant and agricultural working families ensured that Alexis and Alexander would receive the support they desperately needed. Thanks to the Head Start and Early Head Start funding, RCMA has been able to step in and provide Alexis and Alexander with access to education and care that they desperately needed. This vital support has been a lifeline for the boys, offering them stability, education, and a nurturing environment where they can thrive. RCMA’s bilingual, bicultural curriculum and comprehensive care services have given these boys a new lease on life.
Alexis and Alexander are now flourishing under the care of their loving aunt and the dedicated team at RCMA. Their story is a testament to the power of community and the impact of compassionate support. It is stories like theirs that highlight the reason why the work that RCMA is doing in all of the communities they serve is so important.
