Our
Larry H Miller dealerships group here in New Mexico recently had the privilege to visit 4 local
organizations and give them a donation for their work in our community.
We were all honored as we visited each one. Read about these great organizations below:
 |
| El Ranchito de Los Ninos |
"El Ranchito de Los Ninos - $5,000 grant towards the educational needs for their foster children. They
currently house a total of 13 children between the ages of 2 to 18.
Their mission is to keep brothers and sisters together, and to give
siblings a stable a loving home. They are the only foster home in the
State of NM who keeps sibling groups together. One story really hit my
heart about 4 brothers who were found living in a tent. The oldest,
only 3 years old, was caring for his siblings and finding them food to
eat. They have now been at this home for about a year and are all doing
very well.
