They're practical reasons... it's just that
each of them have names. That's Mario in the picture.
He's only been with us a few weeks and he still acts
like each day is summer camp. He and his brothers,
rescued from heartbreak and poverty and into the
safety and hope of Siempre, are four of the nicest kids
you could ever hope to meet. They smile quickly, play
with with joy and if you'll let them, like many of the
children of Siempre, will sit in your lap or have you
hold them all day long. They've been rescued- and
they know it -it shows each time little Diego runs and
puts his arms out to be lifted up, or just stands
alongside you in silence. Each of them will need a
home for the next 15 - 20 years. Siempre, and the joy
we share on any given visit, is not about short term
commitment. The sweet faces you see in these
photos, the wonderful children of Siempre Para Los
Ninos, have been left with us forever. Legal
guardianship transferred and birth certificates signed
over... failure is not an option... and so we build, to be
prepared for all our children will need in the future and
to make room for the children who are yet to be left at
our doorstep.

Ricardo and Daniel, pictured at the top
of the page, are quickly growing
a brother like
bond. They're only months apart in age, though
Daniel's the older, he's also the smaller of the two.
They've only known each other for weeks: Ricardo's
been with us since he was a baby, we're all he
knows. Daniel is Mario's youngest brother and
memories he may carry from his life before Siempre
will soon be woven together with these first days of
bonding with Ricardo and all the other children he
now shares his life with. They'll both need someone
to teach them to kick a soccer ball, take them fishing
for the first time and eventually even how to drive. This
is a huge task and the kids of Siempre deserve our
best. Without us, left to the streets of TJ, fighting to
find their way out of poverty, they'll be lucky to survive...
much less ever find success. At Siempre, because of
your support, they'll discover a hope and a future. I
can't imagine a better investment, outside of that
which we use to raise our own children, then the
loving, lifetime support of Siempre Para Los Ninos.

Three weeks from today I'll email out an update on how our weekend went. There'll be photos of workers, a new building, kids at the fiesta... the weekend and the opportunity will be behind us. If you still don't have plans for your Memorial Day Weekend- or if their sketchy at best -join us. We have a plan that will change the way you look at life, how you consider the poverty just hours from our doorstep and will open your heart to The Wonders of God - a life changing miracle is just ahead of us and you're invited. You can be a friend to the orphaned and abandoned... and you don't have to fly 22 hours to Kenya or get any shots. It's going to be an incredible weekend and I don't want you to miss it - you're needed... and that's a good thing... now, more than ever.
siempre,
 Eric Denton
