Campaign Description
BUILD 50 HOMES IN ONE DAY FOR DEAGO POOR FAMILY.
Professional photos, video, and drone footage can be provided. Colonia Fuentes del Valle is home to 150 migrant families, most from central Mexico, searching for better opportunities. The cost of living, school expenses, and low wages often leave these families with insufficient funds to build houses – leaving them exposed to the elements and susceptible to disease. The community has no running water, sewer lines, or medical services. “Life is very challenging for these poor families,” says Barry La Forgia, IRT Founder and Executive Director. “IRT is dedicated to improving the quality of life for our neighbors in Tijuana and we are proud to give this family a safe place to raise their children.” The single-story 16 x 20 structure with an outhouse will change the lives of the Javier-Monteso family. While most would consider this structure to be extremely basic, it means the world to this family. They have never owned their own home and especially struggled this last winter when the roof leaked and the dirt floor turned into a mud puddle whenever it rained. International Relief Teams has been working in the community of Fuentes del Valle since 2016. We have sent 450 volunteers who have built 18 homes for 18 poor families.

This truly breaks my heart 💔 I pray that these families receive not just houses, but safe, warm homes filled with peace and hope. May this project be successful and bless everyone involved.
