Desirable (not Essential)

Remote
What will you be doing?
Abuelita’s Wellbeing supports people who are stressed, in pain, or facing health challenges, especially those who often struggle to access the help they need — including individuals living with chronic pain, those waiting for a diagnosis, and people facing financial difficulties.
We believe that feeling well, supported, and cared for should not be a luxury. By making our services accessible to people from all backgrounds, and by being chosen by those who can afford to pay full price, we create a positive ripple effect that benefits the whole community.
Our impact is seen in people feeling understood, safe, and more in control of their health and wellbeing. This leads to stronger individuals, healthier families, and more connected, resilient communities.
We support refugee women and low-income clients using proceeds from our private clients and corporate contracts. We are looking to go beyond that and expand our help to the community by reaching out for grants, funding, and sponsorships.

- Support us in developing templates for proposals, partnership decks, and service-level agreements/contracts.
