We have fond memories from home, and this is where home is. The valley is where our hearts are. We want to give back to the community which allowed us to pursue our dreams and make us who we are today.
We are committed to supporting various initiatives throughout the Rio Grande Valley to aid the residents of the communities.
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) We strive to help individuals within the Rio Grande Valley to be able to achieve their full potentials to give back to those in need. We support research inspiring the community, and collaborating with thoughtful leaders to make a real difference in the RGV.
Our work has 5 major areas of focus ---- Charities, Arts, Research, Engineering and Sciences. These interconnected elements are vital to the community.

The Patel-Desai Foundation for C.A.R.E.S. helped create life changing wishes for two local Rio Grande Valley children with critical illnesses by dedicating funds to help grant their wishes with Make-A-Wish Rio Grande Valley! One wish is for a 7 year old who wanted to have a family trip to South Padre Island. The second wish is for 7 year old girl in Harlingen who has always dreamed of having a bunk bed with a “Secret Hideout” on the bottom. Both of these children will receive their wish through the kindness and support of the Patel-Desai Foundation. We have had so much fun talking to them about the progress of the wish and how much joy, hope, and comfort they are bringing to our kids. We are eternally grateful for the support.
What great people to work with and an amazing foundation as well! Really helpful!
