Stories and Purpose
The story of our founder, Bianca Gavarrete, is the driving force behind Wings of Freedom International. Her childhood was marked by domestic violence, an experience that left deep scars but also a strong determination: to transform pain into hope for others.
From that experience came the conviction to create a safe and transformative space for women and children survivors. Wings of Freedom International was born with the purpose of providing shelter, comprehensive support, and tools to rebuild lives and open paths to new opportunities.
Today, her testimony is the foundation of our institutional purpose: to show that human resilience can break cycles of violence and open horizons of freedom and dignity.
“Thanks to Wings of Freedom International, I found guidance and tools that helped me grow as a woman and as a person. Today I can proudly say: I survived. I will always carry in my heart the support I received.”
“It’s not just an institutional agreement, but a human commitment that drives us to work together for a common goal.”
"We came to this world to serve and to love. I am here for that."
“At Wings of Freedom, I felt I wasn’t alone; it became my lifeline and the light that revealed my worth, turning my wounds into the courage to move forward.”
“Being part of WFI is about inspiring my voice and joining a chorus that transforms silence into hope.”
“Wings of Freedom doesn’t just rescue; it helps survivors become Victors, with strength and dignity.”
"Being part of WFI is not just about raising your voice, it is about educating, empowering, and planting seeds of hope that bloom into wings of freedom."
"God has allowed me to walk a certain path, which now gives me the ability to walk in your shoes and understand the journey you're on. That's why I'm here: to lend you my hand and confidently tell you, Yes, you can."
