When the duo contacted the account that proposed the name, which was a traveling family with the Instagram handle thebucketlistfamily, the family asked Frank and Hayden to pay the money forward to the next person in line.
That led Frank and Hayden to a married couple who asked if the money could be donated to A Father’s Heart Children’s Ministry.
The couple’s selfless donation sparked a movement of giving, allowing the organization to begin building its facility.
“$34k donated in the past 17 hours and RISING
,” Nieves said in a post he shared earlier this week. “We are so thankful for everyone’s generosity and encouragement of our mission! It is a hard mission, but God is with us! Thank you to @partywaveeee for sparking something incredible here—to God be the glory!”

Last month, unaware of what God had in store for A Father’s Heart Children’s Ministry, Nieves shared how the Lord called him into the ministry.
“Over 25 years ago, God called me to help and protect the children of Guatemala from the growing evil of trafficking,” he said. “This is what I am fighting in Guatemala. Over 40,000 children each year are taken from Guatemala, and they end up in the USA and other parts of the world, the largest market of [consumers] of children.”
He continued, “Here is where God called me to and I happily said, send me Lord! I just got word from our engineer for the go-ahead on the construction of the safe home project here in Guatemala.”
“Here we will house, educate, provide emotional and physical care,” said Nieves. “From there, we will ask Jesus to heal their little hearts and minds. Only Jesus will be able to do this kind of work!”
“So, A Father’s Heart Children’s Ministry is here, but I need YOU to help and partner in building this place of refuge and healing for the children,” Nieves added. “We have a generous donor that is matching your donation dollar for dollar. We are halfway there! We need to raise $250k for the entire Children’s Center, which is very little for a project of this size.”
Nieves admitted that it hasn’t been easy and asked for prayers.
“I have to say, this has been super challenging with opposition everywhere, which I know is from the pits of evil, and I am not capitulating,” he said. “Your prayers are needed, however right now your donations are also greatly appreciated. Blessings and thank you.”
