Paper Houses Across The Border   small blue    

News We are continuing to deliver coats, blankets, toys and food to the working poor in the colonias of Mexico and to the shelters for children in the colonias of Mexico.

We were established to promote missions to the colonias and work as partners, neighbors and friends to these hard working people who are trying to survive on the border of Mexico. They ask nothing of us and work long and hard hours to provide for their families. Hundreds still live in homes made of scrap lumber  and cardboard.

 

   

 

To feel sorry for the needy is not the mark of a Christian - to help them is.

- Frank Clark

100 percent of your money reaches the people in need.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I will accept the offer of the Houston Police Officer's Union and build a non-profit."

"Nobody gets a salary. Board member contributions pay the administrative costs."

"The money people send gets to the people in need."

"Protect their dignity. Require community labor. "

"Remember that the best charity is one that provides a way for the person receiving charity, to never need charity again."

"Do no harm to the economy by flooding the neighborhood with free things. Buy in the neighborhood."

"No requirement to worship, believe, join, or belong to anything can exist. We preach by example."

"We love unconditionally, but take great care not to  give without understanding the truth. We have an obligation to supporters."

"I want to do this so others can have the unbelievable experience of mission and working with these hard working people - trying to remain in Mexico. They work harder than I've ever worked in my life and they get so little in return."

"The experience is life changing. We change the way we live. We become more like the person we always wanted to be."

 

Come with us and change your life.

 

When I stopped chasing extra-jobs and overtime to make money, things were better. I found something in the colonias.
