Our history
Every story has a begining, here's ours
In the winter of 2013 we were approached by the members of the Abuelos de Bucerias to provide assistance to their neediest members. We introduced sewing classes for their members, then sold the products at the local market. To raise additional revenue, we established a calendar of events which included fund raising dinners and rental of the facility. The money raised provided medications and medical care for the neediest members of the club.
We soon recognized that there were countless elderly people in need who were not members of the Seniors Club. At that time we made the commitment to reach out to those individuals and provide assistance where necessary. We sourced through donations, then distributed special care packages, clothing, linens, food, canes, cane tips, crutches, eye glasses, hearing aids, walkers and wheelchairs. We continue visits to house bound seniors. For more examples, see our FaceBook Bucerías Tercera Edad pages.
Our work with this group, made us realize, that with no nonprofit care homes in the State of Nayarit, we had to help. January of 2019 we hit a bump in the road when we discovered our free 10 year renewable lease on land in Valle Banderas was fraudulent. This was a bitter blow as we had held our First Rock Dedication and were ready to commence building.
From the Fall of 2016 through weekly sales in two local markets, various fundraising events, and monetary donations, we have been able to fully purchase 3,000 square meters of land in Bucerias.
Our next goal is to start construction in the Spring of 2020.
In order to complete the project, it is necessary to continue our aggressive fundraising efforts as well as continuing our market sales.
