I'm Kat O'Sullivan. I'm excited to share with you the opportunity to change the lives of families in need of a safe, dry, and dignified home... a place to rest, grow, and dream about what else is possible in their lives.

CHECK OUT THIS 2 MIN. VIDEO to learn more about how your support will help transform their lives.

I will be joining a team of committed volunteers to do just that. For 2 days we will work together from sun-up to sun-down to make this happen.

You can help transform their living conditions from:

To:

I can't wait to share my experience with you real time, including handing the keys over to the family, most likely to mom.

When you partner with me to make this happen, every penny you give will go directly to the cost of materials. A generous corporate sponsor is covering all other expenses, including payment processing, software, and our travels to the build site.

The cost for each home is just $6,000. We are providing the labor and each of us have committed to raise at least $3,000 to help cover the cost of materials. However, thanks to generous donations, I have already exceeded that amount. I am now committed to raise the full $6,000 to cover the total cost of a home.

Why am I so passionate about this? My husband Michael and I moved to the Lake Chapala region of Mexico, an hour from Guadalajara, almost 4 years ago. We love the culture, the people, and the beautiful environment. We are grateful for this unexpected opportunity to create a new life in the middle of the pandemic and I want to give back to those in need of their own new life.

Thank you for considering sponsoring me and supporting us as we put our boots on the ground to make this happen! Onward & Upward!

Hello, friends! Lately, I have been wanting to get more into doing charity work and helping others, and I have been given the perfect opportunity to do so. One of my mentors is organizing a volunteer trip to build houses in Mexico, as part of a mission to build 10,000 homes for families across Latin America by 2035. And you can help by donating to fund the exact house that I will be building!

Imagine being able to give a family a safe, dry, and dignified place to call home in Oaxaca, Mexico. Our team is raising funds for a new home for a family in need, and all of your donations will go to the incredible organization, TECHO, who is on the ground making this happen.

Your Impact: 100% to the Family

Here’s the best part: every dollar you give goes directly to the home-building project for this family. A generous corporate sponsor is covering all other expenses, including payment processing, software, and my travels to the build site. So when you donate, you can be sure that 100% of your contribution reaches TECHO, and 100% of those funds will go straight to the family’s new home. Every penny you give translates to a safe place for a family to rest, grow, and dream. (And if you're in the US, all of your donations will be tax-deductible!)

If you can't afford to donate right now, that's okay. You can still help by sharing this campaign with your friends and family!

Will you help me build this home?

Your donation—no matter the size—goes directly to the FAMILY.

100% of your generosity turns into walls, roofs, floors… and futures.

Let’s put love into action. Let’s build something that lasts.

Donate today and be part of this miracle.

As someone deeply committed to healing, transformation, and building a more compassionate world, I believe that everyone deserves a safe place to call home—a sacred space where they can rest, dream, and rise. When I heard about this mission to build 10,000 homes across Latin America, something stirred in my soul.

I knew I had to be a part of it.

Partnering with Leadr and TECHO isn’t just about hammering nails—it’s about planting seeds of hope and anchoring love into the foundation of a family’s future. Supporting this cause is a natural extension of the work I do every day as a spiritual coach and community builder. Together, we have a chance to not just talk about change, but BE it.

Peace is a ripple that begins with you. -Love u-Kris

Hello Family,

My name is Shylo, I have always felt that I was a humanitarian, and have always dreamed of making a bigger impact for those in need. My time traveling the world has opened my eyes to how fortunate we are to live in North America. This is why I am raising funds to help build a home for a family in Mexico. As someone devoted to collective healing, compassion, and spreading love. I feel deeply called to not only contribute physically to the build (yes, I will be going down to be a part of this build, so you will receive pictures and updates of the home and also the family that you helped change there life!!)—but to also connect soul-to-soul with the families whose lives will be transformed. This donation not only gives me the opportunity to give back in a meaningful, tangible way, but it also gives you an opportunity to make the same impact, without getting your hands dirty. I will take care of that part for you!! :) If my vision resonates with your heart, please consider donating—your support is part of the love we’re building. Your generosity will be these families answered prayers.

Thank you for you love, support, and generosity.

On October 29, 2012 We lost our home and most everything in it when Hurricane Sandy blew the high tide up the Hudson and into our apartment. I can vividly remember the moment I had to carry my wife and son through the raging storm and rising floodwaters to the bucket loader that would carry us and our few bags out of the flooding. We were virtually homeless for over a year.

I vividly remember when we moved into our home in July 2013. It was a culmination of a many miracles. I have not forgotten all the generosity and goodwill that made it possible. I remain grateful.

So I asked my Gong fu Brother Seth Delia if he wanted to go build a home in Mexico and now we have partnered with Leadr to pay it forward and help contribute to a mission to build 10,000 homes for families across Latin America by 2035.

Taylor from Leadr on building homes in under 48 ho

I have felt the pull to participate in a service trip since I started my career as an occupational therapist almost 30 years ago but I haven't been able to make it happen until now. I have spent my career helping people from all walks of life participate in their life in the ways that are meaningful to them. Helping individuals and families from impoverished communities to have a home of their own would make my heart smile!

Hello everyone!! As you probably know, I am a carpenter and have been in construction for many years in Telluride. Finally have the opportunity to partner up with an amzing organization that builds homes for families who need a solid home with a solid roof over their head. This alone will improve the lives of many families. It feels really good to be in service for those who really need a home.

I am excited to partner with Techo to help contribute to a mission to build 10,000 homes for families across Latin America by 2035.

Hi, I’m Louis De Palma, and I’m on a mission to build hope—literally.

For years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others heal and thrive. But nothing breaks my heart more than seeing families without a safe place to call home. That’s why I’m partnering with TECHO to raise $3,000 this month to build transitional homes for families living in extreme poverty. Every dollar goes toward giving someone warmth, dignity, and a future. If you feel called to make a difference, I’d be honored if you’d join me. Let’s build something beautiful—together.

This project means a lot to me. I am Chicana Miwok Indigenous and Mexican and have seen firsthand the profound need for safe, secure, clean, and whether guarded homes on my many trips to Mexico. I am excited to raise money and contribute to the much needed shelters in Oaxaca, Mexico. This collaboration between Leadr and TECHO is incredible! 100% of donations go towards the TECHO built homes thanks to Leadr stepping up and paying for processing fees and such!!!

Will you help me build 20 homes for families who don’t have one in Oaxaca, Mexico? It only takes 10 people giving $300 to reach the goal of this fundraiser - Or give anything you can because every bit counts, to give someone a home they've never had?

I’ve joined a fantastic team—Leadr—and together, we’re raising funds to partner with the incredible nonprofit TECHO to give families something life-changing: a safe, dry, and dignified place to live.

Each home costs $6,000 to build. My first goal is to raise half that—$3,000—but I’d love to go all the way and fund an entire house. Honestly, I’d love to help build many.

Your support, big or small, will directly impact a family’s future—and trust me, when they’re handed the keys to their very first home, there won’t be a dry eye around. I’ll make sure you get updates, photos, and maybe even a few tears of joy.

Every dollar goes straight to TECHO, and it’s 100% tax-deductible. But more than that, you’ll be giving something priceless: hope.

Check out the short video below to see what these builds are like—or just ask me. I’ve got stories already.

Thanks for anything you can give. Here's the link to the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/MgHyXFn4ssI
