2020 in Review and Goals for the Christmas Season

“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.”

Matthew 25:40

Since August 2020, with generous financial contributions from around the world, we were able to purchase hygiene, health and safety, and cleaning products for donation to the Casa Eudes shelter for girls in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, run by the Sisters of Charity. During each our four visits to deliver donations to Casa Eudes, the Sisters were extremely grateful and let us know what items they were lacking most. So far, we’ve been able to help supplement their needs! Below are some pictures of these visits we’ve made and items donated:

As we enter the Christmas season, a time of giving and reflection, we hope to end 2020 on a strong note, despite the challenges our border community is facing during the pandemic. Our goal is to give as much as possible to these girls, to show our generosity and enter 2021 on a high note. In order to do so, we need your help to raise as much money as possible so we can continue to bring needed donations to the Casa Eudes shelter during this pandemic. Thank you and God Bless!
