Casa Hogar Santa Julia Don Bosco, A.C.
Casa Hogar Santa Julia is a home for children from precarious family circumstances. The children are brought to the home by police, social services personnel, and family members, and are received into the arms of five Madres or Sisters, who immediately begin raising the girls in pure love. The results are amazing: Children with developmental disabilities are straightened out with sound nutrition. Children with psychological conflicts are righted. The children typically then go on to school, make good grades, and begin planning professional careers. The Madres receive almost nothing from anyone other than individuals and community organizations in San Miguel. It takes only $3 USD a day to meet the basic needs of a child at Santa Julia. Call today for a tour, an opportunity to meet these amazing children and their miracle-making Madres.
