Hi friends! It's Sharon! I am a Leo and my birthday comes around this Wednesday, August 06th. Instead of gifts this year, I have a big, bold ask that will truly change lives – and I hope you'll join me in making it happen.
The Dream: A Safe Home in Oaxaca Magical Oaxaca holds a special place in my life – a tapestry of indigenous culture, ancient history, incredible art, and breathtaking beauty. But there is so much more. Some families in this extraordinary place still need a safe, dry, and dignified home where children can study and dreams can take root. That's exactly what we're building together.
The Mission I've partnered with my friend Taylor Conway and the incredible non profit TECHO to be part of something extraordinary: building 10,000 homes for families across Latin America by 2035. TECHO doesn't just build houses – they transform entire communities through:
* Transitional housing that provides immediate relief and dignity
* Social inclusion programs that create lasting change
* Community partnerships that ensure sustainable impact
Why This Matters to Me: With increased talk of immigration and homelessness, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by problems that seem too big to solve. But here's what I've learned: we can make a real difference, right now, for real families. When we provide a home, we're giving security, opportunity, hope, and dignity – all the foundations that let dreams take root.
How You Can Help NOW: Every dollar makes a direct impact. Here's what your contribution can do: $25 - Provides building materials for the foundation $50 - Covers roofing materials to keep families dry $100 - Funds essential tools for construction $250 - Sponsors a significant portion of one family's new home Any amount – big or small – brings us closer to changing a family's life forever.
Join the Movement This birthday, give a family the gift of home. Together, we can be part of something bigger than ourselves. We can be the reason a family in Oaxaca has hope, safety, and dignity.
Ready to build big and audacious with me? Thank you for considering this meaningful way to celebrate with me. Your generosity will echo in the laughter of children playing safely in their new home, and that's the best birthday gift I could ever ask for.

Mil gracias, Shaz
