What happens when inclusion meets style? A day full of smiles, confidence boosts, and fresh haircuts! Members of Eternal Anchor’s Friendship Club Without Barriers recently visited the Cannon Beauty Institute in Vicente Guerrero, where director Teresa Cannon and her amazing students opened their doors—and their hearts—to our young adults.
Laughter filled the room as students styled each guest with care and creativity. Compliments flew—“You look so handsome!”—as everyone admired their new looks. Even Rodolfo, our newest member, braved the tickles and sat still like a champ for his first haircut with us.
We're so grateful for community partners like Cannon Beauty Institute who believe in inclusion and go the extra mile to make everyone feel seen and celebrated.
Because when we work together, beauty is more than a haircut...it’s belonging. #InclusionMatters #CommunityPartnerships #BetterTogether ... See MoreSee Less

At Eternal Anchor, we believe every person deserves to be remembered, celebrated, and included. This week, we came together as a community to mark our very first Día de los Muertos—a vibrant celebration of life and memory deeply rooted in Mexican tradition.
Every class helped build our colorful altar, which paid heartfelt tribute to five of our beloved students who are no longer with us: Eva, Alberto, Adrian, Baby Jesús, and Efrén. Their photos, surrounded by marigolds and candles, reminded us of the joy they brought to our lives and the lasting imprint they’ve left on our hearts.
Members of our Friendship Club Without Barriers picked flowers from nearby fields. The therapy class danced with their standers, full of spirit and pride. We held our first Catrina sculpture contest—and wow, did our students get creative! Shoutout to Héctor, whose artistry and attention to detail earned him first place.
Our Family Services team prepared a delicious pot of pozole to share, and the day wrapped up with an unforgettable dance party.
"Too often, people with disabilities are left out of cultural and community traditions," said Deborah Garcia, our co-founder and Director of Justice and Equity. "But inclusion means making space for everyone—not just to participate, but to belong."
Día de los Muertos is a time to welcome back the spirits of those we’ve lost, to celebrate their lives with color, music, and memory. It’s not a goodbye—it’s a joyful, annual welcome back. Because at Eternal Anchor, love doesn’t end with loss. It anchors us all. Look for more photos and videos in the days ahead. #DayOfTheDead #Belonging #InclusiveCommunity #Culture ... See MoreSee Less

Today, we share the Week 44 devotion from our booklet "2025: A Year with Eternal Anchor," created to inspire, encourage, and connect us as we pray for Eternal Anchor’s students, staff, families, and the San Quintin Valley.

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." — Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)
Serving others, especially in challenging circumstances, can be physically and emotionally draining. Yet, God promises to strengthen those who rely on Him. Eternal Anchor’s mission is sustained by this divine strength. Let us pray for their endurance and encouragement.
Let's prayer together: Faithful God, thank You for being our source of strength when we feel weak. Empower the team at Eternal Anchor to continue their work with energy and joy. Renew their spirits daily and remind them that Your power is made perfect in their need. Amen.
Let’s walk this journey together, one week at a time. Links to the full 52-week e-book are in the first comment. #Devotional #FaithJourney #LoveIsAnAnchor ... See MoreSee Less
