Lots of News - ¡Muchas Nuevas!

1) The Casa de Niños is open! 34 boys are living at the old Casa MAMi location on Carranza, just 4 blocks from the Río Frío location. Our organization is committed to sending $2,000 per month for the needs of this particular home.
2) 154 children were given school clothes, backpacks, shoes and supplies!
3) We have a new mailing address for donations; please see above and on the emails! Casa MAMi MX 2000 S. McColl Rd, Suite B #130, McAllen, TX 78503. Please note that the P.O. Box in Germantown, TN is also active, for administration of IRS and other official business. Remember that any gifts in kind, in the form of boxes, should be mailed to Sister Elma, 105 N. Sixth Street, Hidalgo, TX 78557.
4) 15 girls will celebrate a special birthday this year: The Quinceanera! A lovely lady from Christ United Methodist Church in Sugarland, TX has prepared gifts for each of these girls. Sister Elma has found donated /gently used white dresses for the event. Our friends at the Best Western El Camino Hotel are hosting a party after the worship service. This will happen on Saturday, Oct. 9. Because of the unrest in the city, it will be held in the morning followed by a luncheon. YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!

5) Speaking of travel: our friends from Love Never Fails International, based in Ft. Worth, Texas, joined us for our annual board meeting in May. Some of us visited their meeting in Ft. Worth. They share the vision of helping children by the mercy of Christ and are enthusiastically supporting this ministry, hoping to enlarge and duplicate it along the border. They visit often and we are grateful to God for their partnership. It is true that much violence continues in the Reynosa area, however, the police seem to have a good idea of what areas are dangerous. We have concluded that the decision to travel is an individual one. Communicate with us or Sister Elma if you would like to go to Reynosa!

6) Finally, here are two happy examples of children being blessed through this ministry. Bryan, is a smiling 8 year old boy! Dulce, pictured with Olinda of Sugarland, TX is a happy 4 year old girl.


We are humbled by your support and the opportunity God has given all of us to share in His work at Casa MAMi in Reynosa!
