Casa Hogar was founded in February 1996 by Gator & Deanna Carter for the purpose of helping orphans and children from single-parent families in Mexico. They had worked at and been directors of other children’s homes for six and a half years before founding Casa Hogar. They founded this home on Jesus Christ.

Here are Gator & Deanna with Griselda. She just turned fifteen and turning fifteen in Mexico is like turning 16 in the States. The church has a dedication service, where she is accepted into being a young woman. It is a big deal and Griselda is the first one to turn fifteen of the girls at the orphanage.

Their desire is for the children that come to their home to know and serve Him. They want to afford each child every opportunity to reach their full potential as Christians and as good citizens. The Carters have four children- Leah, Micah, and their adopted children- Opal and Joey. Corazon Grande provides lodging, clothes, school, food and anything else needed at no cost to the parent.
