Their campaign began on November 23 and it will conclude on January 6. Their goal is to collect the necessary funds to help dozens of unprotected girls who do not have a family, but that they were fortunate enough to end up in this foster home that gives them attention, protection, and most of all love.
"We invite the community to visit us, so they can get to know our facilities, but most of all for them to come and meet our girls; that people can come and share some of their time with us, and that way they get familiarized with us and they end up wanting to help us.
We would be really grateful with people who do this," Sister Ofelia Gasca, director of the foster home said.
"This campaign means a lot to Baja Duty Free, because it means it has a commitment with the community, in this case with the girls of Nuevo Laredo that are in need of love and support from institutions such as the foster home that has taken them in," Marketing Manager of Baja Duty Free, Irene Rojas, highlighted.
The proposal is open for all the citizens who wish to support this wonderful cause, they only have to visit the store located on 1420 Grant, on the corner of Santa Maria to request their donation card, and they will have until Wednesday January 6 to make their contributions.
Monseñor Enrique Tomás Lozano Foster Home supports itself thanks to the many contributions generous people from the community make to them; these include in-kind goods as well as money and their time.
The girls the foster home receives are mostly the daughters of immigrants, and of mothers that are in extreme poverty conditions, or they are orphans, or they have been abandoned, mistreated; some of these girls have been victims of sexual abuse, they are daughters of single mothers, drug addicts, alcoholics, you name it. Currently the foster home is housing 42 girls from the community.
