TIJUANA, Mexico—It was a brisk morning of 55 degrees in Costa Mesa, California, as Ashley Austin finished loading supplies for a Mexican foster home in her trunk. She’s part of a group of donors and volunteers in Orange County who are lifelines for the destitute Casas De Dios children’s home in Tijuana.
Although headlines talk of rampant CCP virus spread in Mexico, not to mention complicated border crossings, Austin was undeterred on Dec. 19. She was Santa to these kids, with wrapped Christmas presents in hand along with the necessities.
