New Mexico Larry H Miller Charities

The Larry H Miller dealerships in New Mexico recently went to visit some organizations here in our city and give each a donation to continue their work in our community.  Every representative from the Larry H Miller Albuquerque dealerships were very touched and humbled as we learned more about each organization.  Please read about each below.


El Ranchito de Los Ninos

"El Ranchito de Los Ninos - $5,000 grant towards the educational needs for their foster children.  They currently house a total of 13 children between the ages of 2 to 18.  Their mission is to keep brothers and sisters together, and to give siblings a stable a loving home.  They are the only foster home in the State of NM who keeps sibling groups together.  One story really hit my heart about 4 brothers who were found living in a tent.  The oldest, only 3 years old, was caring for his siblings and finding them food to eat.  They have now been at this home for about a year and are all doing very well.  www.elranchitonm.org


Basket of Hope

Basket of Hope - $5,000 towards gift baskets for long term pediatric patients.  The basket are filled with age-appropriate and gender specific toys, games, books, crafts, movies, pre-loaded MP3 players, and much more.  The basket also contain personalized ‘capes of hope’ and handmade blankets.  www.basketofhope.org


Youth Development Inc.

Youth Development Inc. NM- $5,000 towards the Computer Clubhouse.  YDI’s computer clubhouse is designed to give youth ages 8-18 access to computer technology.  Mentors work with each individual to explore ideas, nurture their talents, and build self-esteem through the use of technology.  The clubhouse is equipped with computers including a robotics computer that contains several computer programs and a music and recording studio.  Participants create computer generated art and music, build their own robots, design web pages, and program new computer games.  They are strong supporters of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).  YDI NM works with youth that come from low income families and provide them a safer alternative to spend their day while encouraging educational growth.   www.ydinm.org
