And 2024 is gone, a memorable year! We grew in housing, assistance, programs, and recognition. A big round of applause to everyone who contributes to making Hermanos a reality! 👏👏👏 Now, let's go over the numbers for the month: we served 219 people, of whom we helped 159 find a place to live. Over the 12 months of the year, the total number served reached 2,014, and 1,850 moved to positive housing destinations. Since we started, we have helped 4,295 people, including 888 children, with 3,981 achieving positive destinations, representing a 95% success rate in the cases we took on. During the month, we launched a new project focused on reentry into society for prisoners who have regained their freedom. In December, we already helped two brothers, and we are preparing to assist more. We’ll have more news soon on how to serve this highly vulnerable population, which calls us to help and fulfills our mission (Matthew 35:31-46), the Judgment of the Nations: “I was in prison, and you visited me.” With this new service, we now cover all areas, so let's make the most of it (migrants, homeless, the sick, and prisoners). We remain fully committed to the fight for life, helping pregnant mothers. We need help to serve in the homes and friends who can sponsor and mentor those brothers and sisters who cannot pay. There are many, and they are very alone. Let’s keep going! Happy New Year to everyone! We can do this! 💪❤️💪❤️💪❤️

We served 245 people (66 children) and managed to get 145 off the streets! Of those, 74 went to shelters, and the rest to permanent destinations. Over the past 12 months, the numbers rise to 2,021 people served and 1,835 exits to positive housing destinations. Since we started working with the Homeless Trust in May 2021, we’ve served 4,171 people and helped 3,846 leave the streets. We currently have around 220 people living in our homes (22 houses) or in the hotel we use for migrants and families in transition. In the Veterans program, we served 163 veterans this month and were able to find housing for 9 of them. This month, we had two births in the maternity home! It’s almost full (we already have 9 moms!), so we’re looking to rent another house so we don’t have to turn anyone away. If anyone has a house for rent, please let us know. It could be in Miami or Broward, where we have volunteers from Mater eager to open one there! We also had 21 baptisms! A record! Special thanks to Ricardo, Laura, and Hortensia for organizing everything so well and mobilizing so many people. A big shout-out to Deacon Tony Perez, who never tires of baptizing, and to the Corpus Christi community, which always welcomes us with open doors! Lastly, we celebrated Thanksgiving with a party for 250 people. A huge thank-you to the Youth for the Homeless team... 👏👏👏👏 to Elena Castrillón!!! And Michelle Cuccia, who mobilized many people and resources to ensure nothing was missing, creating a multiplication of the loaves that is reaching biblical proportions! A thousand thanks!!! Also to Carlos Khubler, who, as always, secured the venue!!! It’s a wonderful tradition! Now Christmas is coming, and we have two teams working full steam to make sure no child is left without a gift or a party. This Friday, there’s a big party at the Children’s Museum organized by the Sereniti Foundation (thank you, Álvaro Rodas and Caro Montoya!) for the children of Hermanos and thousands in Colombia... I was surprised to learn that 70 kids from Hermanos will be attending!!! These are children from families we’ve helped! Incredible!! Next Saturday, there’s another big event organized by Toy Drive’n Events, also for all the children of the foundation! If you’d like to help, we are collecting cleaning supplies for the homes. Please contact Malena. We also need sponsors for various causes (paying daycare for newborns, sponsoring a mom or adult in the homes, helping with transportation, etc.). We need jobs for many of the Hermanos... anyone who can offer something is more than welcome—anything from dishwashing to boxing sparring. Everything helps. At the hotel, we currently have 20 rooms with 56 people! Let’s see who dares to bring breakfast or meals! Every little bit counts. Thank you so much! We can do this! 💪❤️💪❤️💪❤️

This month we served 318 people experiencing homelessness (including 69 children). Of those, we were able to provide "positive housing destinations" for 202. Among them, 118 went to shelters, 41 were able to rent a home (several in our houses and all with our help), 39 moved in with friends/family, and a total of 28 went to other cities where someone was waiting for them. Only 3 accepted to go to rehab. In the last 12 months, the total number served rises to 2,000 homeless individuals, with 1,805 securing a place to live! It's incredible how the numbers grow. Of the total we helped this year, 404 were children. Finally, since May 2021, when we started with the homeless trust, we have assisted 4,043 people, helping 3,708 find a place to live. We currently have 218 people under our housing programs: 162 in 22 houses and 56 in hotels. In the Veterans program, we are serving an additional 239 people with homeless prevention and rapid rehousing. It's a lot of people! The month was quite busy; we opened two houses thanks to a grant from the DDA (kudos to genius Manolo Reyes!). San Ernesto is already full, and Santa Cabrini (you have to see the movie!) is starting in November. With the hurricane agenda, we placed 63 people in shelters. We fully engaged in the campaign for life, organizing a rally that turned out amazing. Genius Eduardo Verastegui and everyone who participated touched our hearts, and now we can't stay silent. We are going all out for life. We had three births at the Maternity House, and with the baby born yesterday, we now have 5 newborns! A true blessing, and as soon as we fill the house, we will open another one. Our message is that if you are pregnant, we will help you. We fight for both lives. Abortion must be unthinkable, and we will achieve this. We are here to defend the dignity of people from conception until death. Without any exceptions. No one is worth less. Everyone counts. It is Jesus himself who awaits us among those who have the least. We will find him! Let's go, we can do it! ❤️💪❤️💪
