Last weekend’s wonderful day in the COMFY Garden with Makenna, Kyla, Amber, and Grandpa Bob. Re-building planter boxes, turning soil, and planting seeds for broccoli, kale, spinach, and chard. Planting basil, watering everything, feeding the worms, making lavendar bouquets, and enjoying each other’s company – Thank you everyone!
Thank you to Trina C. for helping out in the COMFY Garden. The work was strenuous but worth it! I’m looking forward to harvesting tomatoes and sharing them with our Life Support neighbors, family, & friends. P.S. You can see in the first photo that the veggies that Hannah helped plant awhile back are doing great. Leona
Thank you to Chevy’s Restaurant in Novato and to the families and friends of the LifeSupportM.org Mexico Mission Team for a wonderful fundraising event! Now it is time to pack our gear and set out on the mission. From June 20th through June 26th we will be building a home for a family in Tijuana and then visiting Casa Hogar Sion Orphanage. We look forward to sharing stories and photos upon our return and we thank you for your donations and good wishes!

A big shout out and thank you go to the Ross Valley Rotary Club, the Ross Volunteer Firefighter’s Association, and the Ross Police Officer’s Association for your generous donations toward this year’s LifeSupportM.org Mexico House Building Mission.

Spring has sprung in the COMFY (Community for Youth) Garden! We’ve turned and amended the soil, rotated the compost, fed the worms, planted seeds, and given them a drink of water. Here are some photos of Hannah D. and I putting stakes in the beds to label all our seedlings: spaghetti squash, zucchini, cantaloupe, bok choy, carrots, lots of lettuce, and a scattering of wild flowers just for fun. Next up, beans, corn, onions, bell peppers, sunflowers, zinnias, and gladiolus. Oh, the lavendar is looking and smelling fabulous by the way! Thank you to all our generous donors for the seeds, funds, and garden supplies. Love and Hugs to all, Leona
We just returned from our Spring Mexico Mission as volunteer staff for Amor Ministries during the busy spring break housebuilding season. We got to work with and encourage a group with members from Calgary, Canada and Folsom, California who built homes for two families – one family was a single mom with three children and the other was a mom, dad, and two children, who turned their home into a soup kitchen to feed needy children and families in the neighborhood.
In addition we also delivered a full truckload of donations (thank you to everyone for the clothes, toys, basketball supplies, diapers, formula, and other goodies) to Casa Hogar Sion Orphanage. Special thanks to St. Cecilia’s CYO Basketball and to Cara K. and the Starbucks Crew in Orange County for your collections.
Thank you to all our friends and family for continuing to send us to do this great work – you are there with us in every moment! Love, Leona and Jeff
