Napa Valley resident Marilyn Asmuth is just one of Clinica Verde’s great supporters. We are so grateful for the contribution of Marilyn and her husband Paul, who coached the U.S. Olympic open water swimmers last summer in Beijing! Here, Marilyn shares why she chose to give to Clinica Verde.
“Clínica Verde appeals to me because it provides hope and the possibility of health to a community in extreme need. This vision is buoyed by a foundation of sustainability that is sensitive to the realities of the community it serves. Crafting a design for a clinic that can be mindfully and efficiently replicated in other places is brilliant stewardship.
“While it is true there are an abundance of worthy causes to support, to share in the early developmental side of Clinica Verde is high honor indeed. The children and families Clinica Verde will help are woven into our lives as the human family. As we care for them, they will have greater strength to continue their very important contribution to their community and to the world they grow up in.
“We receive a sacred gift when we witness with compassion someone’s desperate plight and convey that story to people who have the ability to help change those circumstances. Even a small gift will make a substantial difference and you will be richly blessed in the process.”
