I always knew that one day, I’d dedicate my life to fighting extreme poverty.

Not just poverty, but extreme poverty:

The severe, often life-threatening deprivation of basic human needs.

At 9, I joined the Missionary Childhood Association in my Catholic school, taking my first step toward becoming a nun. But as I grew older, life took me down different paths.

I earned a degree in Child Education and worked as an elementary school teacher with low-income families in Colombia, gaining firsthand experience in what it truly means to change someone's life trajectory. While continuing my studies in Educational Psychology, I realized that to make a broader impact, I needed to pivot. So, I shifted to business and technology, earning a degree from one of Latin America's top-ranked universities, eventually leading me to a 20-year career in tech in the U.S. Despite achieving many of my adult goals, my childhood dream of creating lasting change for those in extreme need never faded. For years, I helped in whatever ways I could from the sidelines, but always with the sense that there was more I could do to make the world a fairer place for the most disadvantaged.

Then, one good day, in the midst of the pandemic and reflecting on the heartbreaking events of 9/11 in New York City, it hit me: The goodness within people like you and me is the truest force capable of alleviating so much suffering in the world.

That’s when Angels of Goodness was born. It was a vivid daydream with a solid vision meant to unite like-minded people who believe ending extreme poverty is everyone’s business. People who understand the responsibility of uplifting someone in desperate need, rather than turning away because their reality is uncomfortable to see or too heartbreaking to face.

Since that day, countless Angels have joined me in bringing hope to those who need it most. One story at a time, one link in the chain of Goodness after another.

You and I have the privilege to change someone's life trajectory today. Right now.

I’m deeply passionate about capturing unique moments and stories through

photography, video, and writing.

After spending many years building a career in the corporate world and founding three of my own companies, I decided to pursue true fulfillment in my life. I began focusing solely on what makes my heart come alive: telling stories.

In 2020, I was nominated for the Orlando Sierra National Journalism Award in Colombia and joined the Canon Creators influencer team.

My travel blog, Bi Higuera Viajera, attracts thousands of annual visitors from around the globe, and its audience continues to grow.

When I first learned about Angels of Goodness, I knew I had to be a part of it. Capturing real-life stories that often surpass fiction is a tremendous privilege. It breaks my heart to witness so much suffering right before my eyes, yet being part of the solution elevates my life experience in ways I can’t describe. Witnessing these incredible transformations has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.

There’s so much more to be done, and countless people waiting for someone who sees them, cares, and has the ability to help.

If that someone is you, congratulations!

Your life is about to be filled with new flavors of fulfillment, meaning, and

authentic human connection.

I’m a computer engineer and systems technologist based in Manizales, Colombia, where I work for the main electricity company in my region. I’ve been one of the leaders of #LaBiciEstaDeModa, a group of thousands of cyclists in the Colombian coffee region, who bike to promote healthy living and support social causes that help the most underprivileged. Growing up in poverty and experiencing the journey to stability and success firsthand has taught me that life's deepest purpose is serving others. I’ve learned that big dreams are achievable and always worth dreaming. Coming from humble beginnings, I once thought it was impossible to explore the world. But with hard work, dedication, and perseverance, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel extensively, turning my dreams into reality. For nearly 20 years, I’ve been committed to supporting causes that help those less fortunate. I’ve organized fundraisers in my community to provide food to the homeless, delivered Christmas gifts to children in disadvantaged rural areas, and offered support to the elderly and those facing significant challenges. Each of these experiences has filled me with extraordinary fulfillment and blessings. Today, I invite you to become an Angel of Goodness and join us in bringing support and joy to families in underserved communities who truly need our help.

Let’s make a difference, together.

I am the founder and director of Fundación Creando Historia, a Colombian non-profit organization dedicated to fostering children and vulnerable teenagers' educational, artistic, recreational, spiritual, and physical development.

Our mission is to inspire them to believe in a better future for themselves and their families. The foundation was born out of my own family’s painful past. My five siblings and I became orphans at a young age, facing poverty, abuse, separation, and abandonment. After many years apart, my older sister fought tirelessly to finally reunite us. My family had to battle addiction, domestic violence, and poverty for many years.

Along this healing journey, my husband and I had the privilege of working with a children's foundation in Ciudad Bolívar, Bogotá, a well-known place notorious for its crime, extreme poverty, and drug trafficking in Colombia. This experience opened our eyes to the urgent need to support future generations, and we dedicated our lives to helping families change their stories. Today, we’ve reached thousands of families through our programs and our deep passion for making a social impact, not just in our local community, but globally. Step by step, with God's support and our unwavering dedication, we continue to witness life transformations. We’re proud to partner with Angels of Goodness in this mission. There is so much more to be done, but there are not enough Angels to help.

Your support will go a long way.
