House Build in Ensenada Mexico

Donation protected
Last November I decided to go on an adventure to give a weekend of my time and sweat in Ensenada Mexico. In 48 hours we built a 500 square ft insulated and electrically wired  house on a concrete foundation for a family of 11 who had been living under tarps and ply wood scraps in the dirt. The family is now safer from weather and disease in a town without plumbing,  they have a place to call home, and I have a life changing memory. It was so incredible and inspiring to be a part of and I can't wait to go back and build a house for another family in need on April 15th-18th, but I need your help! 
 The money raised here will go directly to building materials and  nessecities for the family. If you want to buy a peice of the house here's some ideas, anything helps!
