PLEASE HELP FLOODED ORPHANAGE in Mexico

Hello Friends, my name is Matt, and my friends at the Ancla de Amor ("Anchor of Love") orphanage in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, NEEDS URGENT HELP! Your donations would be greatly appreciated and would go to a great cause to help children in critical need.

Ancla de Amor is the home of 30 orphan children (and growing), ranging in age from infants to age 18. My parents have visited this orphanage dozens of times over the past few years and have been amazed at the great love, joy, and compassionate service they witness there. Unfortunately, these precious kids and their caregivers are facing a critical situation as heavy rainfall has resulted in devastating flooding to their property.

There is no shortage in the amount of help the orphanage needs at this time, and your donation will make a massive difference in the lives of these children. As a result of the flooding, the orphanage reports little to no food, water, or electricity. We are working to restore these basic needs to them, along with additional supplies like clothing and shoes. But we need your help! Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Here is their Story:

Ancla de Amor (“Anchor of Love”)

God has a plan and a purpose for all of us, and it is perfect. In 2012 God impressed on the hearts of a Canadian couple a desire to build an Orphanage in Mexico. As time passed, the desires of their hearts continued to burn; this passion grew so that they were consumed; every thought, every movement and every dream contained visions and thoughts of what God may want this mission to look like. Two years later, after sharing the vision with many other brothers and sisters in Christ, after countless hours of seeking God’s direction, Ancla de Amor was born.

Ancla de Amor is a Children’s Orphanage that rests on approximately 60 acres of land. The property that God provided contains 1,500 citrus fruit trees, two homes, a machine shop, a large outdoor eating area and a kitchen. As a team, we are passionate about teaching the children that God blesses us with the life skills they will need when they no longer require our care. When a child continues their walk with Jesus, after their journey here at Ancla de Amor, they will be ready to self-sustain their own ministry in Christ with the life lessons they will acquire here.

Ancla de Amor currently operates on donations only. However, we believe that in time, Ancla de Amor will be a completely self-sufficient Orphanage requiring no outside assistance for daily operations. Although, as a team, the Lord continues to show us his plans for the Orphanage, we are delighted to share the vision with you. Please take a look at the Ancla de Amor website, where we have posted some of our future plans. We know that Ancla de Amor is a gift from God, not just for our team, and that he will give visions to many brothers and sisters as the Orphanage grows. We welcome your comments, ideas and assistance in any form that God is prompting. May the Lord allow us to build his kingdom together, and may our thanks always be to Him who makes all things possible through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior.

We desire to provide a safe environment filled with the Love and Compassion that our Lord Jesus Christ shows every one of us as believers. We will educate, equip and give the Children in our care experiences, with Jesus being the foundation of all teaching. We also wish to make sure that the Children who enter Ancla de Amor will have all their basic daily needs provided, such as food and clothing etc

We require help with many projects; you can book your next team or family mission trip through Children of hope or on our webpage at https://www.ancladeamor.com/. We also need financial assistance; we have many projects on the go that we are excited about; check out our website for more information.
