When Tropical Storm Rachel swept through the San Quintín Valley, it left families facing severe home damage and uncertainty about what came next. Fernando, a former student in Eternal Anchor's Education Services program, and his family were among those affected. Their home suffered extensive damage, leaving them with repairs they couldn't simply put off.
But they aren't facing those challenges alone.
Thanks to contributions to Eternal Anchor's 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱, a team of our staff has volunteered to repair the family's home, including replacing damaged roofing and windows.
In this video, Leila Xanat Gómez, our Director of Family Services, shares what's happening at Fernando's home and how our community is coming together after the storm.

In nonprofit work, we count a lot of things. Students served. Therapy sessions provided. Adaptive equipment built. Miles traveled to reach families throughout the San Quintín Valley. Those numbers matter. But they don't tell the whole story.
Sometimes impact looks like something as ordinary as a child tossing a ball toward a bucket. It's a chance to make choices, coordinate movements, interact with someone else, and feel the satisfaction of participating.
And sometimes the most meaningful part of that experience is something we can't easily measure: growing confidence, greater independence, or the simple joy of being included.
At Eternal Anchor, those opportunities are made possible through consistent relationships, skilled professionals, thoughtful activities, and the generosity of people who believe everyone deserves to participate and belong.
We'll continue counting students, sessions, equipment, and miles. Accountability matters. But we'll also keep paying attention to what doesn't fit neatly into a spreadsheet.

𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘀.
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 ...
