JOIN THE FULL EXPERIENCE

Meet Your host

Breanna Danielle M.S.

It been in my heart for years to lead people through community impact projects, while providing a tangible experience to personal growth and I'm stoked to announce that we're making it happen with a whole new spin on our retreats! I will be hosting a 2-part experience. Each packed with two FULL days of adventure, insight, and strategy to make both you and our world a better place.

Don't miss this opportunity to escape the ordinary and invest in yourself. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and take the first step towards a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.

Become a world changer!

Get ready for an impactful weekend across the border! In collaboration with Bajabound, we will build a new home for a family in desperate need just south of Ensenada, Mexico. Our goal is simple, yet powerful- to break the cycle of generational poverty, one family at a time. We invite you to be a part of this transformative experience, helping lift another family from dirt floors to the warmth of a place they can proudly call home.   

WHY JOIN US?   

No construction experience is required – only a compassionate heart and a willingness to make a tangible impact. You have the option to work on the home itself and/or engage in various outreach projects within the community. We build a home from the floor up in just 2.5 days; with efforts extending beyond construction, reaching orphanages, elderly homes, and migrant camps, fostering social impact at every turn.   

YOUR CONTRIBUTION MATTERS:    

  • Beach House Lodging: Stay in a secure gated community, enjoying accommodation that are steps aways from the ocean.   
  • All-Inclusive Meals: From Friday lunch to Sunday breakfast, savor delicious authentic Mexican food that bring our community together.   
  • Building supplies + Materials: Contribute directly to the construction project, providing the tools for transaction.

Join The Build

The Ripple effect | Part 2

The group will meet in Chula Vista, CA Friday, October 25th at 8am, with the plan to return to our same meeting spot on Sunday evening, October 27, 2024.

The journey to Maneadero, Mexico, the site of our construction project, is a safe 2.5-hour drive from the border on well-maintained roads. For your convenience, we will assist in coordinating carpools.

Here you can place an explanation or answer to the question.

 Mark your calendars! This weekend promises not just a physical journey but an emotional and impactful one, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of those we touch.  

$333 donation covers all materials and accomodations for the weekend, including transportation to and from the build across the border. Join us on this extraordinary weekend - where we build hope, transform lives, and create a future filled with promise. Your presence and contribution can make all the difference.

Donation minimum to join the house build is $333 USD. You are welcome to donate a separate amount, in support of the build, with the direct link to our fundraising page in the button below.

Bajabound Builds is A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT, EIN 33-0775616. YOUR GIFT IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW. CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISER OR THE IRS TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR CONTRIBUTION IS DEDUCTIBLE.

  • So you've signed up for the house build. Now what? Your group leader (Breanna) will emailed you the link as the dates get close (about 1 month out). If you have not heard back yet from the host either after October 1st or within 48 hours of signing up (October 1-25), email mermaidmethodofficial@gmail.com and we'll make sure you receive everything you need to prepare for the build.
  • What should I pack? Is special clothing required? Your passport is a MUST! Work clothes are highly recommended. Paint is permanent and dirt/mud is inevitable to avoid, so please bring clothes you are willing to get dirty.
  • How far is the build from the border? The drive is about 2.5 hours, going south along the coast. There are three toll stops in between that provide safe areas for us to use the restroom and grab snacks on our route.
  • How long is the border wait? Prepare for ~2 hours on average in the "Ready Lanes" or "All Traffic Lanes." A good recommendation is finding a group together of Sentri/Global Entry drivers who are able to all go across the border together. Not everyone has this pass available and will need to prepare for a longer border wait time.
  • Do I need international travel insurance? Baja Bound Ministries and its Mexico colleague, Rumbo Al Valle de la LIBERTAD, strongly urges volunteers to obtain international insurance coverage for their trip to Mexico. The importance of such coverage cannot be understated as Baja Bound Ministries and its Mexico colleague, Rumbo Al Valle de la LIBERTAD, will not cover such expenses and all volunteers are asked to waive any claim against Baja Bound Ministries and its Mexico colleague, Rumbo Al Valle de la LIBERTAD, should they be injured or suffer other losses.

    Coverage is available for as little as $3.30 per person, per day and will normally cover:
    • Medical emergencies
    • Emergency extraction
    • Personal liability
    • Lost or damaged luggage
    • Travel disruptions such as flight cancellations
    • Loss of valuable items
    • Other unforeseen events
    • For more information on coverage ask your Baja Bound representation.
