Some of the Ranch Success Stories!
Saul has been with us for around five years now and he is ready to springboard into the San Vicente life. He has finished with his education at the ranch, completing the ninth grade. He is 19 years old and has been under the guidance of Jeronimo and Martin, our construction workers at the ranch, for the last six months. We would like him to stay a little longer to continue to learn the different trades here at the ranch, but he is determined to start his life on his own. (more…)
SaulAgustin and Alejandro have both graduated from our special education program. Alejandro is 22 years old and has worked with our maintenance, construction and agriculture workers for three years. He has learned many skills and we felt it was time for him to become independent of the ranch. (more…)

A Close FamilyMaría Ortiz grew up at the Ranch with her brother Agustin and Sister Lupita. The Ranch got word that Maria’s biological mother was gravely ill. Maria was able to see her mother just before she died. On her death bed, her mother told her that she had a younger brother who had been born with a disability and was placed as a newborn child in a different home. Maria was 16 years old at this time and had no idea she had another brother in the world. (more…)

Monthly Giving Club
Be a blessing to the Ranch year-round! We need your support, both financially and with prayers. Our Monthly Giving Club is a tremendous opportunity to help the Ranch in a sustainable way. It takes a lot to run and maintain the Ranch. Your monthly commitment helps us get the job done!
One-Time Gift
There are so many challenges with running the Ranch, one is financial. Many expenses are associated with caring for our 50 residents around the clock and operating a school for 300. We trust God for His provision to sustain us. We appreciate financial gifts of any size. Thank you for your prayers and support. Blessings!
Trade Classrooms
Our current project is the four trades classrooms for our special education junior high students and our high school students. The trades that will be taught in this building will be: baking/kitchen, beauty salon, electrical and masonry. Our goal is to have it finished by the end of June, 2020. We’re trying to raise funds to purchase building materials for the Trade school classrooms and once the building is finished, the baking classroom needs to be outfitted with a refrigerator, oven and kitchen cabinets. The beauty salon classroom will need shampoo sinks, chairs, mirrors and cabinets for the many teaching stations. If you have access to some of these interior items, please contact our office at ranchosantamarta@cox.net for pick up or delivery instructions. Click the link below and put Trade School in the memo to donate to this project.
Thank you!
