About Us
A Spirit Forged in the Wild
Geraldine Rivera is a voice for the quiet fighters. Born in the green hills of Costa Rica, she was one of fourteen children in a home where shoes were rare but faith was thick. Life demanded her labor early. At just nine, she scrubbed laundry in mountain rivers, fearing goblins in the trees while planting her feet on slippery rocks. By eleven, she left her father’s porch to find work in the city.
Lack of school did not stop her path. Geraldine became a mother and a leader who built a business from zero, proving that a single “yes” changes a fate. In the United States, she faced biting winter with a daughter by her side and a dream in her heart. She learned that while the climb is steep, the fruit of the harvest is sweet. Today, she finds joy in her three grandchildren and the truth that nothing is impossible if you do not quit.
