NUESTRA HISTORIA Y RAÍCES • WHO WE ARE

The Story of Graciela A. Padilla’s Vision: Remembering Those the World Forgot

Born from a neighborhood kitchen table in North Miami Beach, our movement began with a simple promise: no grandmother, day-laborer, or child in our community should ever go to sleep hungry or invisible.

Behind the sunlit avenues and coastal towers of South Florida live thousands of quiet neighbors carrying heavy burdens—elderly pensioners choosing between prescription medicine and groceries, newly arrived immigrant families working double shifts in kitchens and fields, and unsheltered men and women sleeping on concrete benches without a warm meal.

Seeing this silent crisis firsthand at 17940 NE 19th Avenue in North Miami Beach, Graciela A. Padilla alongside Vice President Mirna A. Lopez, Treasurer Jennifer Padilla, Secretary Francis Cotto, and a dedicated circle of five community directors—Javier Hernandez Estavez, Marlon M. Perez, Arodis Marzo, Osvaldo R. Lopez, Jr., and Maritza Martinez—united to form LOS OLVIDADOS POR EL MUNDO INC (“The Forgotten of the World”).

Officially incorporated in the State of Florida under Document #N17000011915 and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity in November 2019 (EIN: 84-3044457), our pantry operates not as a bureaucratic institution, but as a warm communal hearth where every person is greeted by name and served with love.

“El hambre no solo duele en el estómago; duele en el alma cuando sientes que el mundo te ha olvidado. Cuando entregamos una bolsa de arroz, frijoles y pan caliente, le decimos a nuestro hermano: ‘Tú importas, tu vida vale, y esta mesa también es tuya.’”

— GRACIELA A. PADILLA, PRESIDENT & REGISTERED AGENT NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL 33162
