BUILD DAYS
The process of building a home consists of 3 separate build days where volunteers help with mixing cement, hammering, and painting.
The third day is very special because we surprise the family with furniture and get to hand them the keys to their new home. There is nothing quite like the look on their faces when they walk in and see their brand new homes filled with furniture, their new friends, and everything they need to start this new chapter in their lives.
Since each family is required to do 500 hours of community service to “pay” for their home, the homes are built by our families from Mexico, our volunteers from the U.S., and our skilled building team. It’s always wonderful to see people from both sides of the border working together to build miracles.
Step 1 - Pouring the Foundation
