OUR QUALITY
Our products are crafted with care, using only fresh, farm-raised ingredients. We believe in the power of wholesome foods to sustain and uplift communities, which is why our selection includes nutrient-rich options like freeze-dried eggs, cooked rice, and a variety of fruits. These ingredients are chosen not only for their nutritional benefits but also for their ability to withstand the rigors of long-term storage while maintaining their flavor and quality.
Understanding that disasters can leave pets vulnerable, we extend our compassion to the furry members of the family. Our range of freeze-dried foods for dogs and cats is specifically designed to support their well-being, providing them with the essential nutrients they need to thrive even in challenging circumstances.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to reliability and compassion. We aim to be a beacon of hope and stability during turbulent times, ensuring that everyone, human and animal alike, can face the future with confidence. With every package, we deliver not just food, but reassurance and care, to help rebuild lives and strengthen the bond between communities and their beloved pets.

Preventing Erb's Palsy
WHAT WE CAN DO
Erb’s Palsy is an injury caused during birth, affecting the baby’s brachial plexus nerves in the shoulder/neck area. This injury can be lessened by helping doctors understand how to work with women who are more at risk. Even though Erb’s Palsy rates in Latin America are equal or higher than the Erb’s Palsy rates in the USA the families don’t receive prompt information or proper treatment to their baby’s injury that could often be resolved in the early if this would happen in a timely matter.
Erb’s Palsy could often be resolved in the early stages (first 90 days) if given the needed surgery/treatment required to allow the child to live a normal life.
By focusing on these areas, we can work towards reducing the occurrence of Erb’s Palsy and improving outcomes for affected families throughout Latin America, Puerto Rico, and other islands.
1. Education and Training
Educating healthcare providers about safe delivery techniques can reduce the risk of shoulder dystocia, a common cause of Erb's Palsy.
2. Prenatal Care
Regular prenatal check-ups can help identify potential risk factors, such as gestational diabetes or a large baby, allowing for better planning and management during delivery.
3. Delivery Planning
In cases where risk factors are identified, planning for a cesarean section might be considered to avoid complications during vaginal delivery.
4. Awareness Campaigns
Raising awareness among expectant parents about the condition and its causes can lead to more informed decisions and discussions with healthcare providers.
5. Research and Advocacy
Supporting research into better prevention and treatment methods, as well as advocating for policies that ensure high standards of maternal care, can contribute to reducing the incidence of Erb's Palsy.
