WHO WE ARE
All proceeds feed and educate more than 225 children on Timmy's Mountain in Honduras.
Our mission is inspired by Timmy Ellison, who tragically passed away in a car accident at the age of 23. In his memory, his mother, Diane Wamhoff, traveled to Honduras in 2003 and discovered a mountain community where children were severely malnourished. This inspired the creation of Timmy’s Mountain.
Initially, we started feeding the children once a week, with the goal of eventually providing meals five days a week. Over time, we achieved this goal, significantly improving the children’s health and academic performance.
Thanks to Timmy’s Mountain, over 100 students have graduated from high school and over 50 have graduated from vocational school. Additionally, six women have graduated from college, including two nurses, two lawyers, a doctor, and one lab technician.
After 16 years in our previous community, we embarked on a new chapter in August 2019 by founding a new community called Nueva Granada.
In Loving Memory of Timmy
At Timmy’s Mountain, we celebrate and remember Timmy, whose spirit and legacy continue to inspire our mission.
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
Today, the community of Nueva Granada, with a population of 850, houses our elementary school, which has about 30 children. We provide nutritious breakfasts and lunches, 43 laptops for learning computer skills and English, and various vocational programs.
Community involvement is strong, with parents and leaders actively participating in our initiatives. We provide benefits beyond food and education, such as soccer balls, book bags, and computers. Our goal is to continue expanding and helping more children escape poverty through education.
Our work in Honduras is crucial. Every penny we raise goes directly to the children, ensuring they receive the help they need. We aim to see more kids graduate from high school and college, ultimately creating a brighter future for the entire community.
