Almar Surf & Skate is a beautiful example of how supporting local kids can change lives. Through recreational activities we offer children a safe space to grow, build confidence, stay active, and feel part of a community. Supporting kids is essential — they are the future, and giving them positive outlets, role models, and opportunities helps shape stronger, healthier communities.
But just as important as supporting our youth is remembering our elderly locals, many of whom have spent their lives giving to their families and community and are now living in vulnerable situations.
That’s where Casa De La Paz comes in. Casa De La Paz has existed for about four years and is dedicated to supporting elderly people in need here in Bucerías. One of the things they do is provide groceries to seniors and families who are struggling.
Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to join them during a grocery distribution, thanks to my friend Susan — who is also selling raffle tickets in support of this cause!
During that experience, I met families and seniors living in very difficult circumstances. What stayed with me most was not just the need, but the love — the love they give, the gratitude they show, and the positive energy you receive just by spending time with them. I left feeling deeply moved and incredibly grateful.
Sometimes it’s not even about the groceries. Often, what they need most is someone to listen — someone to hear their life stories, their worries, their feelings. It can be hard to listen, to witness their struggles, and then have to leave right away. But those moments matter.
I truly believe in the Casa De La Paz project and their long-term vision of building a senior residence, a safe and dignified place where elderly people can live with care, respect, and companionship. To make that dream a reality, they need our help. Supporting Casa De La Paz means supporting dignity, connection, and love — at every stage of life.
