Stories
Every child has a story. A beginning, a middle and an ending. We get them while the opening chapter of their story is being written. If this chapter was fun and exciting and full of joy, they would never come our way. Unfortunately, the children that we serve have an opening chapter that is full of fear, pain, abandonment and hopelessness. We are here to rewrite their story.
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!
On April 30th here in Mexico we celebrate “Día del Niño” or Day of the Child. Countrywide, people stop everything for a full day and celebrate those who will be the future of this country. Here at Possibilities House, we try to celebrate the lives of our children every day and make sure they know how much they are valued and loved. However, on this date, we thought it might be nice to go all out! So, our day was filled with games, bubbles, a giant, blow-up water slide, and lots of fantastic food! What a fun time! Every single child deserves to be seen, known, and loved!
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!!
