Our Story

From our first volunteer trips to global initiatives, these are the moments that define our mission.

2013 – Laying the Foundation

Sandra began volunteering with Medical Mission Ecuador (MME), providing occupational therapy for children and supporting their families. Over the years, she has continued her volunteer work, realizing that a single week of therapy each year wasn’t enough; families need ongoing support that lasts well beyond the medical team’s visits. This experience planted the seed for a larger mission.

2020 – Missions for Love Beyond Borders is Born

Building on years of hands-on experience, Sandra founded Missions for Love Beyond Borders (MFLBB). Rooted in coaching, community collaboration, and equity, MFLBB works to expand access to essential resources and empower caregivers of neurodivergent individuals, both locally and globally.

2025 – Official Nonprofit Incorporation & Global Impact

MFLBB reached a major milestone by officially incorporating as a nonprofit and charity organization. What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a global movement, making a meaningful difference in the lives of neurodivergent children and their caregivers. This milestone strengthens our ability to expand programs, deepen reach, and continue building lasting connections across borders—one act of love at a time.
