The Project
Casa Árbol is rising in León, Guanajuato, Mexico — a city where stories of hardship are being rewritten into stories of hope. On land already purchased and dedicated, the dream is taking shape: cozy children’s rooms designed to feel like a true home, classrooms filled with light and laughter, a dining hall where meals are shared like family, and open spaces where children can run, play, and simply be kids again.
This vision is being built by hands from both sides of the border. Skilled construction teams in Mexico are working alongside volunteer teams from the United States — churches, families, and friends who have chosen to invest their time and love into every brick, every beam, every wall.
Together, they’re not just building a facility — they’re building a future.
By partnering professionals with volunteers, Casa Árbol is reducing labor costs while multiplying impact. Every hour of service, every team that comes, accelerates progress and helps ensure that funds go directly into creating a safe and lasting home for children in need.
So far, over $110,000 USD has been invested to secure the land, complete architectural plans, and lay the groundwork for construction.
A generous partner has pledged to match every donation up to $200,000, which means every gift has double the power to move the project forward.
The full construction cost is estimated at $509,000 USD, but with volunteer partnerships, donated materials, and support from local businesses, the true cost will be much less — and the value far greater.
Casa Árbol is set to open its doors in 2026, welcoming children into a place designed for healing, growth, and belonging. Each phase brings us closer to that day — the day a child walks into their own room, filled with warmth and color, and knows they are safe, valued, and deeply loved.
What we are building together is more than a structure — it’s a story of hope, compassion, and faith in action. It’s proof that when people come together with one heart and one purpose, miracles really do take shape in brick and mortar.
