Lilo México

What Lilo México does

Lilo México (legal name: Fundación Live Longer México, A.C.) is a Mexican nonprofit foundation founded in 2020 and headquartered in Coyoacán, Mexico City, with regional operations spanning Yucatán, Puebla, Nuevo León, and the Yucatán Peninsula (via the Lilo Península subsidiary). The foundation's mission is to provide specialized and comprehensive treatment to children with congenital heart disease, unifying the efforts of families, healthcare professionals, institutions, donors, and volunteers. It does not develop proprietary technology platforms; its core technology is the coordination of a network of 74+ medical specialists across 13 Mexican states, supported by integrations with PayPal and Stripe for donations and WhatsApp for communications.

The foundation operates five integrated programs: Manos al Corazón (cardiac surgeries and catheterizations), Valoración médica 'Conoce mi Corazón' (specialist evaluations), Corazón Contento (transportation, medication, and rehabilitation equipment), Acompañando Corazones (psychoemotional support), and Tamizaje Cardíaco Neonatal (neonatal cardiac screening using 4 screening teams). Cumulative impact metrics reported include 250+ children with comprehensive medical accompaniment, 22,000+ neonatal cardiac screenings, 253 hearts renewed through surgery or catheterization, 432 medical evaluations, 150+ caregivers with psychoemotional accompaniment, and 50 medical jornadas conducted. The 2025 annual report states that 77% of every peso raised is directed to operations and integral medical care.

Lilo México's business model is donation-funded: recurring monthly giving via the 'Inversionistas de Latidos' program (starting at MXN $250/month), one-time donations through PayPal, Stripe, and bank transfers, and strategic corporate/institutional partnerships (e.g., Fundación Grupo México). Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, using referrals from the medical network, community word-of-mouth, and awareness campaigns such as the May 2026 'Cambiemos el Juego' cinema minute screened across 206 Cinemex complexes (1,903 screens). The foundation is governed by a Consejo de Administración led by Founder and President Laura Patricia Mex García and does not have external equity investors.
