Mexico Build – November 2025 – Key Ceremony
We’ll allocate the funds to the project that needs them most.
One Small House Makes A Big Difference
Over the past fifteen years, OSH has built nearly 100 homes in rural Mexico, the Mississippi Delta, Haiti and Shreveport, Louisiana. Thanks to the tremendous support of our donors and volunteers, we’ve been able to help countless families. And because we’re run entirely by volunteers, we’re able to promise that your donations go directly towards helping these families. A special thanks to everyone who has helped in our simple mission.
BUILD COMPLETE!!! Help This Single Mother and Her Two Children into a New Home!
Mayra Barraza Casa is 32 years old and a single mother to Angel Gabriel (14) and Maria Isabel (12). Their story is all too familiar—a mother working tirelessly to raise her two children while earning a living by selling items at the local market. Through her determination, she has managed to purchase a small plot of land where the family now lives. And during the first week of November, a team of dedicated volunteers (Jax, Karren, Judith, Josie, Kate, Kitty, Ellen, Cynthia, Linda, Erica, Dalia, Meyer, and Craig), alongside local contractors (Fabian, Hilario, and Arturo), turned incredibly generous donations into a brand new home. Thanks to all of them, and you, Mayra and her family are sleeping safe and sound in their brand new home!!
Las Cruces Community Center Sewing School
Over the years, our work building homes in Tijuana, Mexico has allowed us to meet incredibly dedicated and inspiring people. An example of this is a group of women in Las Cruces that, on their own time, run a community center that provides a variety of resources for the neighborhood. One such opportunity is a sewing school for men and women to learn the skill. So moved by this work, our team has been supporting the projects with our own time, money, and resources. But, as is the case with this work, we’ve been further moved by the number of donors who have heard about this work and want to help. So, if you’re interested in supporting this project, you can donate here.
