About Us What motivates us?

We started in the city of Matamoros, Coahuila, sheltering 5 children who were severely abused, offering them a home, security, care, and education.

In 2010, due to multiple factors such as regional insecurity and the integration of a new Board of Directors, the process for our relocation to the city of Torreón, Coahuila, was initiated, successfully increasing the shelter capacity to 20 children.

The Board of Directors, together with the Abrázame team
we began to develop a project in which the goal was to have our own facilities.

It was not until September 20, 2018, that the first stone was laid for what would become our new facilities.

In October 2020, we moved to our new home, a project created and led by Ara. Luiser Gómez.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need arose to provide each child with a recreational space, in addition to the fact that their legal status prevents them from leaving the shelter. It is our responsibility to offer them a recreational space that guarantees their right to rest and recreation.
