CASA JULIA: Mattresses, Blankets, and Pillow Cases
----------------------------------------------------
Bedding is the ony thing keeping us from completely moving our girls in.
Once we have all the mattresses and blankets and pillows in place at CJ, the bare essentials for bringing the ladies over will have been met. And we will then bring them over.
We will still lack amenities, such as hot water, cameras, wall art, general signage, ubiquitous trash cans, and both security and entertainment monitors. And a couple of second-tier necessities, such as customized cabinets and the stainless steel dish receptacle at kitchen.
But, with you guys up there in The States pitching in right now as to this mini-campaign around bedding, we will be able to officially open our doors. We will then cross the bridge of securing the remaining necessary funds to completely finish her out. Bells & Whistles!!!

Padrino Juan Jose Delgado Martinez is the founder/owner of the successful, highly-effective, 12-Step-based drug and alcohol treatment program Unidad de Tratamiento de Francisco Delgado. The non-profit organization actually has two different facilities in the municipality of Ensenada, Baja Norte, Mexico. One is located in Colony 89. We call it Unit 1. The other center is set up in the beautiful mountains of San Vicente. This facility we call The Ranch. While Unit 1 is all-male, The Ranch is coed.
Padrino Juan Jose is not into dark or cruel recovery, as is the culture at so many of these treatment centers down here in this beautiful, tragic, hopeful country. He is a humane, loving, caring, and talented visionary who works everyday to enrich lives and communities, not to diminish them.
