Guided Path Foundation History

An advocate against and survivor of domestic abuse and homelessness, Marisol Sanchez, founder and CEO of Guided Path, originally founded the organization in 2009. The following year, Marisol put the establishment on hold while she completed her Paralegal studies. Relaunched in 2018, Guided Path has provided hot meals, clothing, and Medicaid assistance to residents and community members of the Hillsborough-Tampa County. She hopes to use her life experiences and passion to empower and guide others who have suffered similar experiences in improving their lives and outcomes.

The Guided Path Foundation is a 501C3 private not-for-profit that works primarily with those in need in Tampa-Hillsborough County Florida. We provide access to Healthcare Services, Support Services, and Educational Opportunities with the intention of improving the health outcomes within this population.
