Overview
Mission
To provide access to professional medical care for children whose families can't provide for their healthcare in todos santos and the surrounding area of baja California sur, mexico.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2023 we began a capital campaign to build a new facility in todos santos, mx, where fundacion padrino todos santos ac (fpts) operates. In 2024 we transferred the majority of the accumulated funding to funds in mexico now belonging to fpts. In early 2025 we transferred the land that had been held by the pcf todos santos(formed to hold the land) to fpts, and we began the process of dissolving the pcf todos santos. As of the end of 2025 the dissolution process was still ongoing.
