Eternal Anchor was founded in 2014 to respond to the unmet opportunity of serving individuals and families impacted by disability in the communities of rural Baja California, Mexico.

Why We’re Here

We work hard to heal social divisions so that all members of our community can be valued, experience belonging, and reach their God-given potential.

For Kathryn “Kat” Herrington, a former UTMB Health physical therapy intern at Eternal Anchor, one of the most memorable experiences of her clinical rotation wasn't about an exercise or a treatment technique. It was about helping someone do something that mattered to him.

A young man living with a spinal cord injury wanted to participate in a community race. With encouragement, preparation, and the right support, he was able to take part in an experience that meant much more than crossing a finish line.

Stories like this remind us that rehabilitation isn't simply about physical progress. It's about independence, participation, personal goals, and having opportunities to enjoy life as part of a community.

Through our partnership with UTMB, physical therapy students like Kat bring their developing skills and fresh perspectives to Eternal Anchor while gaining valuable experience alongside our Health & Therapy Services team. It's a collaboration that benefits students, strengthens professional relationships, and, most importantly, creates meaningful opportunities for the people we serve.

Everyone needs opportunities to contribute, make decisions, develop skills, and build relationships. Those needs don't disappear when we become adults.

At Eternal Anchor's Friendship Club, a day might involve harvesting vegetables, sorting materials, working on a project, or creating something together. Each activity offers opportunities to practice independence, share responsibilities, express individual preferences, and experience the satisfaction of contributing.

But Friendship Club is about more than the activities themselves. It's about friendships that grow through shared experiences, the confidence that develops when people are trusted with responsibilities, and the sense of belonging that comes from being part of a community. #Belonging #DisabilityInclusion #AdultDisabilityServices

Because having something to do is important. Knowing that what you do matters is even more so.

There's a difference between being allowed to participate and being expected to participate.

In Eternal Anchor's classrooms, every student has something to contribute. Whether preparing a meal, taking responsibility for a task, or working alongside classmates, students are encouraged to make decisions, develop skills, and recognize the value of their contributions.

For our Buzos students, cooking together is about much more than preparing food. It's an opportunity to practice independence, share responsibilities, and discover what it means to be counted on.

Belonging isn't simply about having a place in the group. It's knowing that your presence and participation matter. #Belonging #InclusiveEducation #LifeSkills
