La Posada Home has 15 bedrooms and fit up to 50 families.
“These people need a place to go, and La Posada offers them a place to go,” said Michael Gopin. “it’s a wonderful place.”
“We serve about 50 people, but with COVID-19 we input safety measures, so now it’s about 30-35 people,” said Martinez. “And about 25 of those are children.”
“This is a safe home and no one needs to live in fear,” said Sandra Diaz.
“There is a lot of expenses to running an organization like this,” said Gopin.
The Pay It Forward team presented La Posada with a check to help with their expenses.
“We’ve been here 34 years and we’ll continue to be here until El Paso needs us,” said Martinez.
