Why We Help in So Many Ways

People often tell us, “If you focused on one issue—just children with cancer, just shelters—it would be easier to raise donations.” They’re right. But that’s not how this began.

This work started by walking the streets, often getting lost in the colonias. And every time I’m lost, I find someone who needs help. Maybe I’m not lost at all—maybe I’m being guided. Maybe not. But I believe in responding to what God puts in front of us and doing something about it.

Whether it’s a child who needs a wheelchair, a family without food, or a blind student without a teacher—we help where the need is real.

A Note About Donated Items

We do not accept used items due to high shipping costs and long delays at the border—something we learned the hard way.
Exception: Medical equipment received directly from hospitals.

Instead, we support the local economy by purchasing used clothing and supplies from individuals in Mexico. Many of them rely on this income to support their families.

Your Donation Makes an Immediate Impact

• You can designate your donation for a specific project or person.
• Many donors choose to give monthly for a year, then support a new cause.
• We are always grateful for new donors to continue this work.

We Work Hand directly with the people and programs we support

We partner with local charities and factories, often sharing costs to fund hospital care or school supplies. This ensures your donation goes as far as possible. We meet each person we help.

Please know:
We do not simply hand over money to other organizations. We are accountable to you, and we honor your trust by working directly with those we serve.
