Ana de la Reguera Ana de la Reguera is also heavily involved with charity work. Most recently, she uploaded a video to YouTube in order to help raise awareness for Veracruz, her home state, affected by heavy rains and a devastating Hurricane Karl. In the video, de la Reguera advises on the various options to support, and offers methods to make donations. The viral campaign went all over Twitter and other online sites, raising much needed money for the victims of the hurricane. De la Reguera also founded the organization VeracruzANA AC which is a philanthropic organization whose mission is to raise funds and finally build a touristic boulevard of Antigua- something that has been promised by political organizations for years. Antigua is one of the most important and historical communities in Veracruz, and the most damaged by the hurricane. This June marked the culmination of her hard work and the Grand Opening ceremony for the touristic boulevard.

Whether she is volunteering during a natural disaster, fundraising for those in desperate need of relief, engaging voters, or spending time with her family, de la Reguera proves that ambition can be applied to philanthropic ventures, as well as a successful career that knows no boundaries, both in the United States and around the world.
