Stories
Every child has a story. A beginning, a middle, and an end. We meet them while the opening chapter of their story is unfolding. If this chapter were fun, exciting, and full of joy, we might never meet them. In most cases, the children we meet, and ultimately serve, have chapters filled with pain and fear. Our goal is to help them use their own voices to transform their stories of hurt into ones of hope.
We cannot change the past, but we can help them write a new story that is full of joy, love, and a hope for a future of limitless possibilities.
MAY MARATHON TO MEXICO
Our good friend Mike J went through a bit of a hard time in the year 2020. Not only was he isolated for Covid like the rest of us, but he was also awaiting a double lung transplant. In December, the waiting was over and he received two brand new lungs and now he is feeling better than ever! To celebrate this wonderful event, he started our May Marathon to Mexico. Mike and his wife Cory are pledging to walk 250 Km each and donating $2 to Possibilities House for every Km covered. They have also challenged friends, associates, family members and anyone else that wants to join! Just connect with us on our facebook page (casa posibilidades/possibilities house) to tell us you are in, then click the blue button below to donate. It will help us out a ton and it will get you out and exercising! Get involved! Beat the Covid blues!
We are trying to walk enough Km to cover the distance from Mike’s house to Linares, Mexico and back! That’s 7400 km. We can do it!
DIA DEL NIÑO!
LOVE PREVAILS AMID COVID
Covid 19 has caused no end of problems. Lost jobs, businesses, basic freedoms to come and go as we please. It has been hard on everyone. When you are a charity though, it has a different kind of effect. This is the time of year when we do fund-raising events to help support the work we do. One of those mainstay fund-raisers is our annual Cards-for-Charity poker event. It is always a blast and always raises money that is so vital to our operations. This year it was canceled for obvious reasons… but then… something magical happened. The event was sold out before the Covid hit us and most of the participants, donors and sponsors just said, “Keep the money and donate it to the cause”. No event but yet Ara and Claudia (event hosts) were still able to raise over $5400! That is generosity in the time of crisis! Thank you all so much!!
DAY OF THE STUDENT
In Mexico we have celebrations for many things. None of them are more important than the Day of the Child and the Day of the Student. This year our caregivers went all out to make sure our kids knew how much they are appreciated and loved. So much fun!
