Help Didi and UHP Transform Miami Today

Become a Partner for Change: Support Our Work on Give Miami Day!

Hello everyone! My name is Daymee "Didi" Sanchez, and I am proud to call Little Havana, Miami my home. Born and raised here, I’ve spent my entire life in this community, witnessing both its vibrancy and the challenges it faces. Growing up in Little Havana shaped who I am today and inspired my deep passion for giving back. Having experienced the critical need for equitable resources and opportunities firsthand, I’ve dedicated my career to creating meaningful change in Miami.

I earned my degree from Florida State University as a proud first-generation college graduate, where I cultivated my skills and grew my passion for community service. My journey has been shaped by the incredible impact of non-profits, and I am now honored to give back to my community as a Lead Community Liaison with Urban Health Partnerships (UHP).

What I Do at UHP

At UHP, we are committed to co-designing sustainable change and promoting equity and well-being across all stages of life. I am privileged to be a lead CL on two critical projects that aim to build healthier and more equitable communities:

• InCommunity Project: Promoting LGBTQIA+ healthcare equity and inclusion by improving access to health resources and addressing disparities.
• SMART Grant: Tackling critical mobility and transit challenges in Downtown and Brickell, Miami, by creating accessible and efficient smart loading zones that enhance safety and reduce traffic issues.

Through these initiatives, I strive to ensure that everyone—regardless of identity or background—has access to the resources they need to thrive.

Why Your Support Matters

As someone raised by my grandmothers, I feel a personal connection to our mission. While my focus is on LGBTQIA+ healthcare equity and mobility, our work spans across generations, empowering aging populations and underserved communities alike. I am passionate about creating a more inclusive and sustainable future for all Miami residents.

Your support will directly impact UHP’s work by:

• Implementing community-driven projects that promote health, safety, and well-being.
• Leading policy and system changes that create healthier, more equitable communities.
• Empowering residents to advocate for their neighborhoods and take charge of local improvements.
