In the moment that Doxa started to partner with us, everything changed for the better. We have received a lot of help on projects, resources, and relationships that were once very difficult to obtain. For example, the children eat better than they used to and are much better supported in their education. Their performance and grades in school have only increased (thankfully!). We have also been able to increase our staff and provide opportunities for growth, where there used to be none. This has contributed to increased stability and overall health of our home. We have also been able to do more for the community through the house building program. As families contribute their hours of volunteer service, this has helped the operations of Unidos por Siempre and aided in growing an organic network of people. This community is slowly changing from the inside out.
Finally, it is so gratifying to be able to help families with a new house that really fills them with happiness. It provides for a more dignified life and home for their children. Through Doxa we have been able to achieve things that we never thought possible and met people that we would normally never have, from our local community and faraway places in the United States. Thank you for everyone who has helped support Unidos por Siempre and the families and children in our part of Tijuana!
