Corazon de Vida (CDV), or Heart of Life, was formed in 1994 to raise funds and support for the children of Baja, Mexico. Without funds for housing, food or social programs for orphaned, homeless and abandoned children, Mexico is not able to provide a future for its youngest citizens.
Many of these children are found living on the streets, while a lucky few have been taken in by well meaning families. These families offer help to one or two children in desperate need, and shortly find themselves running a home for as many as 75 or 100 children. The families often seek support from churches, area businesses or friends to feed and clothe the children, but there are no government funds.

What We Do...
We support the orphanages of Baja, Mexico by raising contributions in the form of money, material, and volunteer work to benefit and empower the children of Baja. Every month we organize multiple trips to Baja where we visit several orphanages.
Want to see what a day is like at an orphanage? Watch some of these videos made with love from our volunteers!
You can donate proceeds from a garage sale, your recycling efforts, school bake sales, or even throw a party and ask for donations! Some people have parties and/or family get togethers and ask everyone who is coming to bring supplies for the orphans (socks, underwear, school supplies etc.) By the end of the party there will be boxes of supplies...trust me!
****************UPCOMING EVENTS****************
**CHILD SPONSOR CHALLENGE**
We at CDV have created a new and exciting challenge...the challenge of recruiting 100 new child sponsors!. 100 new sponsors will help us feed 100 children for an entire year and beyond.
If you would like to help the children throughout the year, consider becoming a CDV Child Sponsor. The cost, just $62.50 per month. That is $750 per year, less than most people spend on their cable bills and when you break down the monthly cost further, it is only $2.06 a day – less than you pay for that juice drink or double latte.
Your sponsorship will allow us to continue our mission to help each of the 700 children living at the 14 orphanages that the CDV currently supports. Today, we have 112 sponsored CDV children. Help us increase this number and empower more kids. Your sponsorship dollars provide food, shelter, water, and limited medical and education needs for a child. The more children sponsored – the more children we can help. For more information click here.

Hi, Just wanted to give you an update. It's been a little while. Hope you are doing well. Last weekend Me, My boyfriend, George and our friend Bill took a small trip to El faro & Hacienda. It was great!!!! My first time at El faro, the kids were soooo polite, well behaved and they were eating healthy food, it was great to see. They are reinstating the bus trips, hope to see you on one soon. I will send pix soon.
I went to Hacienda for the first time last Saturday to put together the new bunk beds. I am in love!!! The kids were soooo amazing, I had a blast! I can't wait to go again, they need so much help there, there are sooo many kids and not enough mothers. Hope you had a wonderful Holiday. Just wanted to share the joy. Jess
