The Home of Our Dreams

Dear GlobalGiving friends,

We hope you are having a good month!

We are happy to share that we have begun our second phase of the Nueva Casa de los Dones!

We are deeply moved and full of gratitude as we share the latest progress on the second phase of the Nueva Casa de los Dones. Thanks to the generous support of donors and friends like you, we are excited to announce that construction is about to begin!

This new stage brings us one step closer to our dream of offering a safe, dignified, and loving home to 50 children in extreme vulnerability—many of them survivors of abuse. Currently, our program is supporting 25 children. Once this new phase is completed, these children will move into a space better suited to their needs, allowing us to double our capacity and care for 25 more children who urgently need protection and hope for a better future.

We’re especially grateful to Fundación Corona, who donated all the tiling and flooring materials for this construction. In addition, we’ve received generous contributions from individuals whose kindness will allow us to break ground this very month. We’ve organized events and campaigns to raise funds and awareness, and it is thanks to this collective effort that we are reaching this pivotal moment.

However, we still have a long way to go. To fully furnish and operate this new home, we need continued support from people like you—people who believe in the transformative power of love, protection, and opportunity.

Together, we can make this dream a reality. Together, we can offer 50 children a space where healing begins and a brighter future is possible.

Thank you for standing with us.

With all our hearts,
Fundación Dones de Misericordia

These contributions not only facilitated the successful completion of the first phase, which included the industrial kitchen, pantry, dining room, bathroom, and handwashing area, but also allowed for the optimization of resources, reduction of costs, and improvement of the quality of the materials used. This support network has been key to expanding the project's scope, accelerating its execution, and strengthening its positive impact on the community.
