Just over 15 years ago I made my way to San Miguel de Allende with an idea. It was a simple idea attached to the question, How can I help? In talking with women of the community the answer became obvious, We need daycare so that we can work to support our family and make a better life for our children. Casa de los Ángeles opened in March of 2001 and has been able to stay open because of YOU. Because of the over 1800 volunteers who have come to us from 42 countries. Because of those who have found it in their hearts to make a donation.
After a reading workshop for teachers and moms, we have been able to create a reading room in our building, thanks to your support. Ximena summed up the excitement when she ran with her arms widespread to the bookshelf and exclaimed, "For me??!!!!! I love books." Being able to show our children and their moms how important reading is has inspired more reading in the homes of our families. One mom recently told us that she never read to her child until we were able to share the books that we have in our little library.
As the tradition of Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States and Canada, the Casa de los Ángeles community sends you a heartfelt note of thanks. It is because of the support we have received in the last fifteen years, that the families we serve have been able to enter a new world of hope and self-sufficiency. As our families witness your desire to give, they begin to see themselves as worthy of your gift. As you celebrate Thanksgiving with those you love, please know that everyone at Casa de los Ángeles shares in the spirit with you, saying “¡Muchas Gracias!”
