Changes Happening Now
These pictures show the Casa San Pedro shelter now, including bunk beds that were just built in the last six weeks. And they show the first stage of construction of the new ramada--preparing the site and pouring the slab. Soon to follow will be a new dormitory and bathroom. Finally, those who will benefit the most from the new construction are families waiting to present for asylum -- more than 40 children were at the shelter a few weeks ago.

Making A Difference
Donate Medical Supplies
We want to build and stock a first aid unit and need your help. We are looking for shelves, medical tools, medicines for men, women, children plus other medical supplies. If you can donate funds to purchase any of the above or if you have access to donations of this type please reach out! Donations are 100% tax-deductible (depending, of course, on your personal financial situation). If you are a doctor or nurse interested in helping, we would love to hear from you!
Help Provide Food
For $18 a month, you can provide 3 meals a day to one person. Donations of any size are welcome via paypal. If you would like to mail or deliver any food, clothing, or other supplies to our office in Arizona, we can get it to the shelter quickly.
Shelter Construction Fund
Our current construction project is to build a large ramada (63'x30') to provide sheltered space for meals and kids' activities. Soon after, we will begin construction on an additional set of dormitories with bunk beds, a family area, and a medical unit. The migrants help by building bunk beds and tables. Donations to our construction fund will make a huge difference--the need for this additional space is urgent!
