The month of March was an exciting month for us. On March 5th, Open Arms celebrated its one year anniversary of having our doors open to the community. A year ago we opened our doors to five children, and since then we have grown to 27 kids here at the daycare. One year ago we would not have been able to support 27 kids financially, but thanks to all of our individual and church supporters, we are now able to financially provide for these children. Watching the growth of these kids, seeing how they develop and learn about the Lord is such a wonderful experience. It is amazing to see the change in their lives.

This month Dulce Maria was blessed by a special couple from Corona Del Mar Community Church. Dulce is 10 years old, whose mom works at the daycare. She has used glasses for many years, and the glasses have been worn and broken with time. Because of the family’s economic situation, Dulce did not want to ask her mom for a new pair, so she lived with glasses that were broken and glued back together many times. This couple decided to sponsor Dulce and is buying her a brand new pair. Now, she is able to see better with an updated prescription and clearer lenses.
