🎉 A decade of hope and inclusion

On December 13, Eternal Anchor celebrated a remarkable milestone: 10 years of serving individuals with disabilities and their families in the rural San Quintin Valley! This joyous occasion brought together staff, students, families, and supporters to reflect on a decade of impact and look ahead to an even brighter future.

The highlight of the celebration was the pastorela, performed by our students, Casa Hogar residents, Friendship Club Without Barriers, and staff. A pastorela in Mexico is a traditional play that reenacts the biblical story of the shepherds’ journey to visit the newborn Christ. Our cast brought the story to life with creativity and heart, and was a testament to the growth and potential we witness daily in the lives of those we serve.

This special anniversary celebration underscored the importance of our mission: To create a community where everyone is valued and has the opportunity to thrive. We are deeply grateful to the donors, volunteers, and partners who have made this journey possible. Your unwavering support has been the anchor that steadies us through challenges and propels us toward new opportunities. See more photos from the 10th anniversary celebration here and here, and watch a special Facebook Live interview with Eternal Anchor’s co-founders, Austin Robinson and Deborah Garcia.

Here’s to the next 10 years of breaking barriers, building bridges, and transforming lives. Thank you for being part of our story. Together, we are creating a more inclusive world, one life at a time.

This holiday season, your generosity can have twice the impact! A donor has stepped forward with a $5,000 matching gift challenge, meaning every dollar you donate between now and December 31 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000!

This is an incredible opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and adults with disabilities in the San Quintin Valley. Your support will help provide critical services like therapy, adaptive equipment, and inclusive education, empowering individuals to reach their full potential.

Exciting News for Recurring Donors!
If you’re already a recurring donor, there’s even more good news! Any increase in your monthly gift will also qualify for the match—and not just once. We’ll match the increased amount for the entire year! Here’s how it works: 
     • Let’s say you currently give $50 a month and increase to $60 a month, the $10 increase will be matched for 12 months. That’s an additional $120 matched this year!

Whether you’re a first-time donor, making a one-time gift, or increasing your monthly contribution, every dollar counts—and every dollar is doubled. Use the link below and be sure to select “$5,000 Match” from the drop-down menu. Together, we can turn $5,000 into an incredible $10,000, bringing hope and joy to those we serve. Let’s make this holiday season one of generosity and transformation!
