For many families in the San Quintín Valley, the devastation left behind by Tropical Storm Rachel is only beginning to sink in. Powerful winds and heavy rain have severely damaged homes, torn away roofs and walls, and destroyed personal belongings. For those affected, the days and weeks ahead will bring difficult decisions and the challenge of rebuilding what has been lost.
Among those affected are families we know personally through Eternal Anchor.
Our Executive Director, Austin Robinson, and members of our team have been visiting families throughout the community, seeing firsthand the damage to their homes, listening to their concerns, and identifying their most immediate needs. And the work has already begun. Our team is already repairing the home of one affected family, even before we received the first donation to this effort.
To expand these efforts, Eternal Anchor has established the Tropical Storm Rachel Disaster Relief Fund to provide direct financial assistance to families whose homes and belongings have been significantly damaged by the storm. 100% of every donation to this fund will go directly toward supporting affected families, including essential home repairs, replacement of household necessities, and other urgent needs. None of these contributions will fund Eternal Anchor's administrative expenses or repairs to our own facilities.
These are our neighbors, friends, and families. We've built relationships with them, shared in their lives, and now have an opportunity to stand alongside them during an extraordinarily difficult time.
We're inviting our extended Eternal Anchor community—our friends, supporters, partner churches, and everyone who cares about the San Quintín Valley—to stand alongside these families. Your gift, no matter the size, can make a meaningful difference.
🧡 Give to the Tropical Storm Rachel Disaster Relief Fund: eternalanchor-bloom.kindful.com/?campaign=1291220
100% of donations designated for this fund will be used exclusively to provide direct assistance to families affected by Tropical Storm Rachel. No portion of these contributions will be allocated to Eternal Anchor's administrative expenses, general operations, or repairs to our own facilities. Eternal Anchor will provide periodic updates detailing the total funds received, the amount distributed, and the types of assistance provided. These updates will respect the privacy and dignity of the families receiving support.
Our commitment is simple: Every dollar entrusted to this fund will support families recovering from the storm.
The storm has passed, but the recovery is just beginning. Together, we can make sure our neighbors don't face it alone. #TropicalStormRachel #DisasterRelief #SanQuintín #Community #Belonging #BetterTogether ...

This weekend, Tropical Storm Rachel brought powerful winds and heavy rain to the San Quintín Valley, leaving behind significant damage throughout our community.
At Eternal Anchor, we are grateful that our buildings and residential homes sustained relatively minor damage. We have some repairs to make, fallen trees and broken branches to remove, and cleanup ahead, but we recognize how fortunate we are.
For many of our neighbors, the situation is much more difficult.
Throughout the valley, families are confronting losses that extend far beyond damaged buildings. Some have watched the roofs and walls of their homes disappear in the wind, leaving their furniture, clothing, and personal possessions exposed to the rain. Others are facing the difficult task of rebuilding businesses and community spaces that represent years of work and investment.
Several nonprofit organizations serving our valley have also sustained significant damage to their facilities, equipment, and vehicles, creating additional challenges for organizations whose work is so important to our community.
Behind every damaged home or business are people whose lives have been disrupted and who now face difficult days and weeks of recovery.
We are grateful to the emergency responders, community organizations, churches, and neighbors already working to support those affected. Their efforts remind us that a community is defined not simply by the place we share, but by the care and responsibility we show toward one another.
The photographs accompanying this post show some of the damage at an Eternal Anchor staff residence and Posada Ancla Eterna, along with scenes from the surrounding community where the storm's impact was far more severe.
To our friends and supporters beyond the San Quintín Valley, please keep our community in your thoughts and prayers, especially the families who have lost so much. Eternal Anchor is part of this valley. These are our neighbors, friends, and family. Their losses matter to us, and their recovery matters to all of us. #TropicalStormRachel #Community #Belonging #BetterTogether #SanQuintín ...

Learning to make pancakes is about much more than breakfast.
For members of Friendship Club Without Barriers, everyday activities like cooking create opportunities to build skills that carry into many parts of life: following steps, measuring, making choices, using kitchen tools safely, solving problems, and completing a task with greater independence.
Here, Teresita works alongside one of our Friendship Club members as she learns what to do at the stove. The goal is not simply to make the pancake correctly. It is to provide the right amount of support while creating space to practice, make decisions, and gain confidence through experience.
These are the kinds of skills that matter because they are useful beyond a single activity. They can contribute to greater independence at home, more participation in family life, and a stronger sense of capability in everyday routines.
And sometimes, progress smells a lot like pancakes. #lifeskills #independence #DisabilityInclusion ...
