October 2026 build recap

We Build More Than Businesses.

I joined a crew of 35 volunteers to build two homes for two families with Baja Bound and For Purpose Foundation.

The build

Two homes. Two families. One crew.

Across 48 hours, 35 volunteers worked through Baja Bound to build two homes for two families. Fundraising ran through For Purpose Foundation.

I want to show the work honestly without turning the people receiving it into fundraising material. The beneficiary families remain private, and the gallery below was privacy-screened before publication.

The figures on this page are my first-person recap: 35 volunteers, two homes for two families, and 48 hours from dirt floors to fully insulated houses. The gallery is a limited, privacy-screened record, not a complete account of the families or the trip.
