Kelly Fernandez

CEO, Founder of Love Moves Mountains Foundation

With a heartfelt dedication to making a difference, our journey began with a childhood passion for helping others and a family ethos of care and support.

As a parent and advocate with a genuine love for children, our organization is driven by the belief that every child deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Inspired by personal experiences, including hosting a foreign exchange student, we understand the transformative power of stability and support.
​
Now, fueled by a desire to expand our impact, we're launching The Love Moves Mountains Foundation to extend our reach to local children in our communities. With a vision of creating a brighter future for the next generation, we're committed to instilling values of empathy and generosity in our own children and beyond.

Join us on this journey as we strive to raise the ceiling for our children's potential, ensuring that each generation builds upon the last. Together, let's make a lasting impact and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow for children everywhere.

​Chris Fernandez

​Vice President

From a young age, I was fortunate to accompany my parents on trips to the Dominican Republic, where I witnessed the transformative power of lending a helping hand to those less fortunate. This profound experience ignited a lifelong dedication to assisting others in their time of need.
As a father of three, I am driven by the desire to instill in my children the values of compassion and generosity that have shaped my own journey. It is my fervent belief that by embracing the opportunity to serve others, we not only enrich the lives of those we help but also cultivate a more compassionate and connected community.
​
At The Love Moves Mountains Foundation, we are committed to empowering individuals to overcome their challenges and conquer their mountains. Together, let us continue to strive for a better world, one where kindness and support are the cornerstones of our collective humanity. Join us in our mission to make a tangible impact and create a brighter future for all.
