The Billy 4 Kids Foundation’s mission is to bring joy, hope and safe footwear to children in underserved communities around the world. Through their commitment to providing resources and support to local partners, the foundation is taking a stand for children in need. Marcella De Martin, Billy Lerner’s wife,  the organization’s global outreach and development coordinator, has taken the foundation’s mission to heart. 

She has worked to bring the organization’s message of hope and support to children in Belize, Jamaica, and Honduras. Representatives of the charity recently visited each country in order to meet with local partners and understand the unique needs of each region. These missions have highlighted how each country is struggling to meet the needs of its children and have showcased the impact of the foundation’s work. 

Marcella De Martin, the wife of Billy Learner, and their foundation Billy4Kids have partnered with the Sandy Bay Lighthouse Ministries to provide shoes to children impacted by poverty in the Roatan region of Honduras.

The Sandy Bay Lighthouse Ministries is a non-profit organization, founded to help the poverty-stricken children of Roatan through providing education, nutrition, and safe housing. The Beacon School, a vital part of the ministry’s organization, houses children from kindergarten to grade nine, teaching them essential English skills to equip them to secure a better future.

Billy Lerner and his wife Marcella Di Martin have made great efforts to improve the lives of children in Belize, Jamaica and Honduras through the Billy 4 Kids Foundation. This foundation strives to improve the quality of life for children around the world by donating hundreds of shoes and raising awareness about the global issue of parasitic diseases, which affect 740 million people worldwide. The mission is to foster a safer environment for children in underprivileged areas to live and play by preventing infectious diseases that affect barefoot children. As the ambassador for Billy 4 Kids, Marcella Di Martin is extremely passionate about this cause and has been making continuous efforts to improve the quality of life for children in various underserved countries.
