Due to the COVID-19 public health restrictions, including limits on crossing the border, San Diego-based nonprofit Build A Miracle hasn’t been able to have volunteers travel to Mexico to help build homes for families in need.
“Luckily, down in Mexico they were still actually building in small groups and working on it together as a community,” said Daniella Benitez, 16, a student at Cathedral Catholic who has been involved with the nonprofit for several years.
