In 2007, Eight family members joined together to build a house for a family. We col lected about 80 gifts for the

community, but ran out in about 5 minutes.After returning home with a new perspective on our own

blessings, we spread the word about Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point). Through the generosity of others, we were able to

grow.In 2008, Fifteen family members joined together to build

another house. This year, we were able to provide around 800 gifts of clothes, toi letr ies, toys, blankets, and baby

supplies. Even with the incredible growth, we were sti l l only able to help a small portion.

Being a part of the Puerto Penasco trip is a truly l ife changing experience and with continued support, we’l l be

able to grow bigger, help more, and truly make a difference for this community.
