November News

The Quinceañera held on Oct. 9 was wonderful. 15 girls from Casa MAMi were honored. About 60 people attended the party.

Last week the violence was especially difficult. School was canceled for several days and the boys who live at the Carranza street location were NOT happy that they had to spend the entire day at the Río Frío location. The Río Frío location is the main house where all meals are served, day care, kindegarten, and second floor residential girls live. The Casa de Niños opened in July and offers sleeping but no meals for 34 boys.
Please continue to pray for the peace of Reynosa. Sister Elma says 'never has it been like this' in their community. She has not been allowed to cross the international bridge on a number of occasions.

Big news: For nearly three years we have prayed and looked for additional land to purchase. We talked about the land behind Casa MAMi. For two years the owners of the piece of property next door have been talking to us. They have now agreed to the price of $282,000 US dollars. Please pray and seek those who will help make this happen.

Also, The McAllen ladies will have their annual reception for Casa MAMi this weekend. The generosity of this group has been a huge blessing for several years!

Thank you! When I have some new pictures I will share them!
