We Believe We Need To Invest In The Future Of Children In Our Community
Everyone has a cause they care about and for us at John Medina Buys Houses it’s the kids and families who need to be given a fair shot. That’s why for every house we buy, we take a portion to fund the charities we care about!
Investing in the Future
This past year, we got involved with a private school located in Watts, CA the private school we partnered with was St. Lawrence of Brindisi.
Through this school and other local charities, we focus on under-served communities and helped give the children within these communities the tools to realize their own potential, go to college, and have successful careers.
One of the ways we do that is by sponsoring field trips for these under-funded schools where there simply aren’t enough funds for educational field trips.
Here is one we did a few months back, where we took 250 students on a whale watching expedition.
