Community Helps Send Fairfield County Woman to East Africa

Marissa Regina learned selflessness from her family and implemented acts of kindness in her community. Now she is looking to spread kindness all the way to East Africa.

Just three days ago, Marissa Regina of Bethel had yet to meet her fundraising goal of $2,000 to help with her trip to Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda to assist children and adults infected with HIV/AIDS.

In November of 2013, she created a GoFundMe project seeking donations for her trip, taking place in May of this year. In the past three days, her project was fully funded and then some. 

The community donated $2,275 total. To learn more about Regina's trip or to donate funds, visit her GoFundMe page.
