Who We Are

Eternal Anchor

In the heart of rural Mexico, our team is building a movement of inclusion—bringing people together across cultures and backgrounds to ensure that children and adults with disabilities are seen, valued, and empowered to thrive. 

What We Do

We serve more than 250 families impacted by disability.

Eternal Anchor was founded in 2014 to respond to the unmet opportunity of serving individuals and families impacted by disability in the communities of rural Baja California, Mexico.

Why We’re Here

We aim to heal social divisions.

We work hard to heal social divisions so that all members of our community can be valued, experience belonging, and reach their God-given potential.

Eleven years ago, a young boy sat in his wheelchair on a quiet road, laughing with his whole body—head tipped back, hands lifted, joy uncontained.

That moment mattered enough to be captured. The photo was taken by Austin, one of Eternal Anchor’s co-founders, at a time when this organization was just beginning to imagine what long-term, relationship-centered disability services could look like.

This week, that same child—Jesús—turned 19.

The second photo shows him today. Older. Confident. Joyful. Still unmistakably himself. And the person who took that first photo? He’s still here. Still serving as Executive Director of Eternal Anchor. And today, he’s also Jesús’ dad.

That kind of story doesn’t happen by accident.

Eternal Anchor has never been about quick wins or short timelines. From the very beginning, it has been about staying. About building programs and community that grow alongside the people they serve. About education, care, and support rooted in dignity—not urgency. About believing that children with disabilities don’t need to be changed; they need to be accompanied.

Jesús’ life didn’t unfold because of a single program or a single decision. It unfolded because of years of presence, patience, learning, and love. Because someone chose to walk with him, year after year.

As we reflect on 11 years of Eternal Anchor, we celebrate Jesús. We celebrate Austin. And we celebrate the quiet, powerful work of building something that lasts. This is what long-term commitment looks like. And this is why our work matters. #DisabilityInclusion #Belonging #InclusiveCommunity #History

Today, we’re holding close the faces, stories, and relationships that make this community what it is—children learning and laughing, families walking together, and a shared commitment to dignity, belonging, and care.

Christmas reminds us that hope is often found in the simplest places: a smile, a shared moment, a community choosing to show up for one another. As we celebrate today, we’re deeply grateful for every family, staff member, volunteer, and supporter who makes Eternal Anchor a place where people are known, valued, and loved just as they are.

From our family to yours—may your day be filled with warmth, peace, and quiet joy. ❤️ #MerryChristmas #Inclusion #BetterTogether
