About Us

Founded by Michele Avila, we are celebrating our fifth year of operation.

Breath Of Life PDC Ministry raises funds to support local Playa Del Carmen families in critical need and single mothers from abusive situations with food, clothes, education, housewares, and emergency services.

We help families get on their feet again, and have hundreds of success stories!

The Breath Of Life Ministry is a passion project that was formed in 2020 by Michele Avila, who experienced extreme poverty after being brought to Playa del Carmen 10 years ago.

With only the bags on her back and very little money with no family or friends support, by the grace of God, she found a way to stay alive and support herself and her child.

She has since pulled herself out of a life and death situation, has created a beautiful home, raised her son, and currently helps other women break the cycle of abuse and poverty. Because of her own struggles, she developed a deep passion to help the growing impoverished communities in Playa del Carmen (especially single mothers in abusive situations) who needed help due to uncontrollable circumstances.

During the pandemic, the needs became desperate as people were laid off from work and had no way to make money, Michele began reaching out to friends to help her support these single mothers to have food for their children.

At first they were simply buying groceries with whatever money they personally could spare.

As more people came to her for help, they began to raise money providing continued support when needed most.

Breath of Life Ministry grew from this passion to support impoverished families in their critical times of need and has brought support to hundreds of beautiful souls every week!
