We are having a party to celebrate the 25+ years that William (Bill) Lee has supported Casa Hogar. Please see the invitation attached. Everyone is welcome. We just ask that you RSVP as soon as possible but no later than, September 15th at ndanielsen@lfwired.org or text to 817-319-2158.

We want to share with you a little of what has happened at Casa Hogar. God has been so good and faithful, and we are very happy because at the end of this school year, several of our children have completed another stage of their studies, each having a very beautiful graduation. Chucho and Elizabeth finished elementary school, Krissia and Angelique finished middle school, and Manuel has finished high school and is ready to go to college. Additionally, some of our girls participated in the graduation with some dances. After all the graduations, we had a beautiful party at Casa for all our graduates. We are infinitely grateful to God for providing for each one of them in everything, and to all of you, friends and siblings, who with so much love support all our children so that they have the opportunity to have a very different life and a better future. May God continue to bless you greatly, and together let us support our children at Casa Hogar La Familia. ❤️

This July, Dany and Eunice, son of Juan Fco and Silvia, got married. The wedding was beautiful, and the whole family enjoyed a wonderful evening. 

ENCENDIDOS CAMP 2025

2 Timothy 1:6

This was the motto of the youth camp. Thank God we had a wonderful time with the youth. Even though some of them couldn’t attend because of the start of university classes, it was a great blessing. We had a lot of fun, learned more about the word, ate a lot, and our friendships grew stronger. It was a wonderful time with the youth.

We want to send a big “thank you” to Fishersville UMC, for supplying us with socks and shoes for the new school year.

Happy New Year! A lot has happened in the last few months of 2024. Here’s a wrap up!

We are so happy to announce the progress both Josue and Rodolfo have made at the UTP University. They have both completed the first stage of the degree process and graduated as technicians in December of 2024. Now onto the degree portion of the process which should take approximately 2 additional years. 

Rodolfo came to the home at the age of 3 in 2006 and has worked hard in his studies to be able to attend the University. Rodolfo finished the technical portion of his degree in Automotive Systems and will be working towards achieving his BA degree in Engineering.

Josue arrived at the home with his 4 siblings at the age of 7 in 2006. Josue completed the technical portion of the degree process in December in Mechatronics and will be working towards achieving his BA degree in Engineering.

We thank God for both gentlemen and the donors who have helped to make their educational dreams come true.

In December we had a team from Fishersville, VA come and spend a week here at the home. We accomplished several projects. We made gingerbread houses, played games, had donkey races and much more. We even took the children to the movies and arcade. So much fun!!!

Fishersville UMC purchased 2 computers and presented them to Abbey & Manuel who will be attending college in the spring.

Finally, Christmas! What an amazing time celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ with food, fellowship and games!

In January we welcomed little Vanessa to our home.

Independence Day celebration was September 16th. Several children were able to participate in a parade and celebration with their school. A fun time was had by all!!!

The home received a huge donation of food from Aromatizantes BEEP. What a blessing this is! Thank you so much!

The children were given “hook-latch” pillows to make, and they enjoyed taking their time and creating these pillows that they can use to decorate their bedrooms. Thank you, Lighthouse, for these projects!

Two brothers have joined our home, they are Josias (8 yrs old) and Axel (5 yrs old) at the home and are so excited about welcoming them into our family.

Congratulations to Daniel (Juan & Silvia’s son) on his engagement to Eunice. They are planning to be married in July 2025.

Nanci from Lighthouse spent a few days in Colima with Juan Francisco and Silvia learning more about Grupo Amor and its policies and procedures for the orphanage. While there, Silvia and Juan visited with their children and took Nanci to several local restaurants. Nanci really enjoyed the “tuba”, a drink of fresh fruits and peanuts!!!!

Chef Luca!

Luca had a special day at school where the children dressed up as chef’s and created a fancy dish. Luca named his “a day at the beach”

The school year is over for the children of Casa Hogar La Familia, and everyone is looking forward to their summer vacation, which is only 4 weeks in the Mexican School System.

 Several of our children graduated this year, so we want let all of the friends of La Familia to know who they are:



• Sandra graduated from Elementary School



• Yivel graduated from Middle School



• Suri and Abi graduated from High School





• Abi will be attending the University in the Fall



For the graduation party, Silvia, Damaly and their helpers made grilled meat with beans, guacamole, grilled onions and cactus with a green sauce.



Juan Francisco’s and Silvia’s son, Aleksei and his family were able to spend several days visiting the casa. Aleksei made lemon water with mint and delicious Chia, and for dessert, they brought cake and made gelatin. Silvia and Juan were so excited to spend time with their newest grandbaby, Eliett.

The Lighthouse team arrived on August 1st to spend a week with the children. They worked on clearing the field in preparations for a soccer field being installed by a local vendor. Lighthouse hosted a one-day VBS for the children or the casa and church families. We were also able to spend the day at the local water park in Quechaoloc.

Sundays are always a special time for the teams to share in an amazing. Spiritual worship service. It was great seeing Aleksei, Abbey & Suri joining in with the praise team. Josue has been teaching Suri how to play the guitar! Juan does such a great job delivering the message each week.

The team ended the week with a day in Puebla doing a “5-hour culinary tour” and learning about the local foods in Puebla! It was such a fun day!

The next week, all of the children and adults enjoyed some time away from casa and they went to a Selva Azul for two days of fun. They enjoyed white water rafting, swimming and much more!

Silvia has been shopping for the children to prepare them for the new school year by getting them new shoes, socks and under garments thanks to a donation from Fishersville UMC, VA
