OPERATION WRAP & PLAY


The Maria Elena Cisneros Caregiver Fund

In honor of the original Mija, Maria Elena Cisneros, Mija, Yes you can is launching the Maria Elena Cisneros Caregiver Fund—a tribute to the everyday heroes who care for their loved ones with heart, patience, and grace.

This grant offers support to those who give so much of themselves, often without recognition. Be sure to check “I would like to dedicate this gift” to direct it to the fund.
