The story of this special place really began when Mama Liz was 13 years old and her family decided to move from Mexico City to the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez in Chiapas. Her father was a missionary and a deeply committed Christian man who was called to leave Mexico City and preach the word of God in the Chiapas area of Mexico. 

Upon arriving in Chiapas, he found a place to live with his family in an area of the city where women worked in the cabarets.

Mama Liz and her mother saw that the children of these women were living together in toxic environments and in conditions completely inappropriate for minors. These women got to know Mamá Liz's family, specifically the generosity and responsibility of her mother, who sent Liz to take care of their children when they were gone and working. Liz and her mother were able to temporarily protect the children from fights, drunks, and violence. 

 So it began, that Mamá Liz began to wrap herself up in the lives of children and to understand their needs from her exceedingly early years.

 She and her mother cared for the children initially for a few hours daily and that time gradually increased, as the most often single mothers, realized that their kids were in a safe place and being cared for. In some cases, their parent left their children for weeks and months, subsequently returning to look for them, though not all of them, leaving them orphaned. These situations occurred frequently enough to impact Mama Liz's heart forever. It made her aware that these children needed love, help and a positive influence that would give them a desire to create a life change for themselves and those around them. 

As a result of those experiences that planted seeds in Liz’s heart, she had a desire to open a space for children like the ones who she had taken care during that time with her mother. Her life mission became finding a safe place that would not only separate them from those conflicts but would help them to feel love and acceptance. In addition, her goal was to teach them to break the vicious cycle they were born into, take responsibility, have the opportunity to go to school and make decisions that would lead to productive lives.

However, it would not be until many years after this experience that Mama Liz could fulfill her desire to return to work with children. She learned through that experience that helping the needy was her calling in life. Several years later after going to school and having a family, Mama Liz made a decision to open the doors of her house to the elderly who had nowhere to live or that their relatives could not take care of. In much the same way, she cared for, and paid attention to these elderly people who were already completely dependent on someone else.
