Walk A Mile In Her Shoes - December 23 - January 6, 2025 - Raise $30K to Build Socorro A Home

If you know me, you know I have a big heart for moms. That’s why, when I was approached by Tekiosk to assist them with sharing about this mom’s story, I gladly agreed. In Oaxaca, where cultural richness meets resilience, a single mother and community volunteer, Socorro Ruiz, has been a beacon of hope. From providing food and shelter after devastating earthquakes to offering emotional care during the global pandemic, Socorro has tirelessly served her neighbors.
