Meet the Founder of Mariposas on the Move

From the depths of my heart, I am driven by a mission shaped by my own journey.

Mariposas on the Move was born from my own journey a path shaped by struggle, resilience, and the unshakable belief that every mother deserves the chance to thrive. I know what it feels like to face uncertainty, to question your strength, and to wonder what the future holds. That’s why this mission is so deeply personal to me.

I come from a line of powerful women: my mother, whose wisdom carried us through the hardest moments, and my younger sister, whom I remind every day that she is capable, worthy, and strong. Their courage shaped me, just as your courage is shaping your own story.

This organization exists because I believe every mother and child should have access to the tools that build a stable, joyful, and fulfilling life, medical support, quality education, summer programs, reliable childcare, and the community resources that make growth possible.

I am living proof that even in the darkest seasons, when hope feels far away, you can rise. You can pursue your education, build your career, and create a future filled with purpose and joy. No mother should have to walk that journey alone. I am here to stand beside you, uplift you, and remind you of the strength you already carry.

And this mission extends beyond mothers it reaches the children who depend on us. Every child deserves a bright, enriching childhood, and that begins with supporting the women who raise them. Through community programs, childcare assistance, educational opportunities, and family‑centered events, my goal is to help both you and your little one flourish.

Together, we will face the challenges and celebrate the victories of motherhood. You are never alone. There is a community here, ready to support you, cheer for you, and grow with you.

🦋 Always remember, Mama Mariposa “You Are Capable.”

With love and unwavering support,

Margarita (Margie) — Mami Mariposa

Motherhood is the ultimate act of empowerment; it transforms us into the strongest, most resilient versions of ourselves.
