Vanessa Mejia-Hutchison was a recipient of an Operation Christmas Child shoebox when she was 10-years-old in Honduras. She grew up with her family of six in Honduras, where her parents struggled with money. She wasn’t able to go to school everyday because they could not afford tuition. Because of her trust in Jesus, she was able to go to the University of Oregon and received a Master’s of Curriculum and Instruction. Now, Vanessa is married with a 16-month-old in Oregon.
