SayulitaLife’s Monthly Donation Goes to Casa Esperanza Women’s Shelter Emily Glos and Zoey Glavicich - El Sayulero
go to original December 6, 2023

Casa Esperanza women’s shelter is free for women and their children escaping violence in the home. The shelter is more than just a shelter, it provides legal and psychological aid for the women and children, 24 hour nurse, education, work skills, helps find work and a safe new home for the families, and even provides small no interest loans.

They average a stay up to 90 days though they can leave earlier. They serve the Puerto Vallarta region including Bahia de Banderas, and have another location in Guanajuato.

The location remains secret to protect the safety of those fleeing violence. Families are admitted to the shelter through various authorities including the Center of Justice for Women in Bucerias and Puerto Vallarta. For extreme cases, they are also affiliated with programs in other countries and immigration when staying in Mexico has too dangerous.

The fundraiser on November 28 was a happy hour with tapas hosted by Sayulita’s well known chef Andrea Nardo, with music by Jaqueline Rae, and a silent auction made possible by many local Sayulita businesses. The timing was perfect as November 25th is the International Day to End Violence Against Women.

PS: We are happy to announce that the fundraiser far exceeded it's $60,000MXN goal and raised over $75,000MXN, not including online donations!

Casa Esperanza is a registered charity in Jalisco, and a 501(c) in the United States.
