Schooling sponsorships: Angie is heading back to school in 1 month, Angie continues to work towards her nursing degree. We are super excited to continue sponsoring her, and thank all those who have contributed. At this time, Jasmine, after completing her 1 year certificate, has decided to take a break, due to the challenge of going to school and working a job to cover her own apartment. Her family home environment grew too difficult for her to remain there. Daily life in Mexico is a struggle, and difficult choices have to be made. Our goal is to secure greater consistent sponsorship for her in hopes to get her back on target to finish her degree. We continue to pray for these bold young women.
Hands for life chiropractic: Our assistance with the Hands for Life chiropractic outreaches has begun, after a yearlong hiatus. Two doctors came down to treat many folks in TJ, who would never otherwise, be able to afford chiropractic care. Even though they are not able to receive ongoing treatments, just having someone with a kind and loving human touch, is very special. Men, women, and children, we are happy to see these dear ones cared for and we are thankful to our TJ partners, who help put it all together.
Border crossings: Things have lightened up a bit in recent months. We never know what might change from week, to week (or even, day to day), with the border, but it has been going pretty smoothly, of late. No extra hassles going through X-ray each time, nor increase in import fees for awhile now. We hope this favor continues.
New shelter: We were made aware of a shelter in need, just last week. Wayne knew just where to locate it, which, in Tijuana, is not as easy as it sounds. These families are migrants, and have no where to go. It was our honor to take a load of food to these men, women and children (so many children). We are happy to add this shelter to our regular distrubution.
Shifting food pick-ups: Although we lost a very large, twice-weekly, bread pick-up, due to a factory relocation, we have been blessed to pick up a new venue, replacing nearly all that we lost! Thank you Bread and Cie Bakery! There is a lot of wasted food in this country but there are many organizations who try to change that. Find out who they are in your communities and thank them, better yet, maybe help them!
