The Need

Across Mexico, countless children live in the shadows of circumstances they never chose. Some have been abandoned on the streets, others removed from homes filled with violence, neglect, or addiction.

Many are not orphans in the traditional sense — they are sons and daughters of families crushed by poverty, parents who love them but simply cannot provide for them.

In far too many cases, children are taken into state custody after surviving abuse, only to find themselves in institutions that are overcrowded, understaffed, or, in the worst cases, exploitative. Instead of finding safety, they find loneliness. Instead of comfort, confusion.

These are the forgotten ones — children caught between crisis and hope. Casa Árbol was created for them.

We are building more than a shelter; we are creating a refuge — a place where every child has a name, a voice, and a future. A place where they are embraced, protected, and guided by a family who chooses to love them as their own.

Here, children will know what it means to be seen, to be safe, and to be cherished.
Because when love steps in, despair loses its grip — and hope begins to grow again.
