TEAM

Diego García

CEO

Erika García

CO-FOUNDER

Diego García and Erika García are a couple who invest in real estate in New York City and Colombia. They are the CEOs of the Foundation, which was born out of the need seen in New York’s migrant community. Diego is associated with the Carpenters’ Union in New York City, a union that contracts construction contracts with the city. For several years, this couple, Colombian immigrants who arrived in New York as children, has been involved in social work anonymously, collaborating with the migrant population and focusing on those most in need. The Foundation seeks to provide support and guidance to the migrant community, especially those unaware of the benefits offered by New York City, regardless of their immigration status. Growing up in New York, they have been concerned that their fellow citizens and Hispanics in general not lose their cultural identity or their ties to their places of origin.
