OUR STORY

I Am For You began in the heart of Dr. Ramón Pérez-Rosich and his wife Jasmin Ortíz-Batir.

Jasmin previously worked for the Florida Health Department, and while providing health services to patients, she noticed the growing need for dental and medical care for immigrant families who had been rejected because of their inability to understand or communicate with the healthcare system. 

Jasmin felt compelled to assist these individuals in getting the help they needed and provide an opportunity for them to hear and experience God’s transforming love. She shared her heart with her husband, Dr. Ramon, who shared the same passion for serving others. 

In 2008, without equipment, financial support, and prior experience in carrying out rescue missions, they organized their first local mission in Pembroke Pines, Florida. 

In partnership with the Florida Health Department, vaccinations, mammograms, STDs and HIV/AIDS tests, and oral cancer screening were provided for people in the community. Participants also received food assistance, Bibles, and prayers from people and organizations who were eager to help. 

Jasmin and Dr. Ramon continued their services in the same city for the second and third year, with more dentists and specialty doctors offering their services to patients at no cost. 

In 2012, they felt God’s call to reach the neediest communities in other cities. They raised their first $25,000 and purchased their first set of portable dental equipment. 

I Am For You was officially founded in 2015. 

To date, Dr. Ramon, Jasmin, and a team of very special volunteers have been able to reach over 10,000 people in Central and South Florida, Haiti, Honduras, and Puerto Rico.
