Maria's Mountain

 ($500 - $1999)

She raised two wonderful daughters and has always been dedicated to showing them that they are loved and encouraging their dreams. Maria’s mountain is a space for those who are dedicated to helping Black girls and Black women from around the world know that they are loved, and encouraging their dreams.
