Meet the Founder of Mariposas on the Move

— Margarita (Margie)

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

I understand the challenges, the moments of doubt, and the uncertainty about the future. Every mother deserves the support, resources, and encouragement to build a thriving life for herself and her child.

I come from a lineage of strong women—my mother, whose wisdom and resilience paved the way, and my younger sister, whom I strive to remind daily that she is powerful, capable, and worthy. Their strength has shaped me, just as your strength will shape your own story.

Mariposas on the Move was born from my unwavering belief that every mother and child deserve the tools to thrive. Whether it’s access to medical support, quality education, enriching summer programs, or reliable daycare, I am committed to ensuring that families have the resources they need to build a secure and fulfilling future.

I am living proof that even in life’s darkest moments—when hope feels distant—you can pursue an education, establish a career, and create a future filled with joy, stability, and purpose. No mother should have to walk this journey alone. That’s why I want to stand beside you, to uplift and empower you, and to ensure you know that you are strong, capable, and deserving of success.

But my mission goes beyond mothers—it extends to the children who rely on us. Every child deserves a joyful and enriching childhood, and that begins with the support their mothers receive. That’s why I am dedicated to connecting families with community resources that foster growth, development, and resilience. Whether it’s through educational programs, childcare support, or meaningful events that bring families together, I want to create opportunities that allow both you and your little one to flourish.

Together, we will navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories of motherhood. You are never alone—there is a community here, ready to uplift you.

🦋 Always remember, Mama Mariposa, You Are Capable!

— With love and unwavering support, Margarita (Margie)-Mama Mariposa
