A Home for Socorro!
Mexico, Cultura y Orgullo (MCO) warmly invites you to participate in the "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" project, a heartfelt initiative dedicated to providing appreciation for the unsung heroes; this time by providing a sustainable home for Socorro Ruiz, a single mother who supported other Mexicans through the earthquake and a global shutdown, by volunteering her time, knowledge and love to make sure Mexicans were cared and supported for during difficult times. Thanks to Socorro's dedication and support, as a team we were able to provide shelter and food to over 68 volunteers, provide 40 tons of emergency relief and reignite the economy for 300 families during the earthquake that stoke México in 2017 and secure income for over 250 families without income during the global shutdown. Everyone who's known Socorro knows she is full of love, enthusiasm and support for the community, it's her time to get the appreciation she deserves.
Join us to thank Socorros commitment through MCO’s mission for dignified sustainable housing, when you support her to get one step closer your $100 (USD) donation will not only help to make sure she is rewarded for her dedication but also we’ll reward you with a pair of exquisitely crafted artisan shoes from Oaxaca.
The investment is not just about a dignified home; as many of our projects we try to create a win win for for our collaborators, besides securing her family’s well being as she did for many during difficult times, its an opportunity to offer educational opportunities for eco-friendly building as a way to honor our ancestral architecture with Adobe. Our friends at Sombra Mezcal and the award winning civil engineer Martha Cardoso, join us on this project that aims to revive the ancestral practices of our culture by donating the fibers, process and guidance to execute.
Let’s provide for Socorro and her two children a home for the next century !
