A safe shelter for LGBT+ migrants in Tijuana!
A safe shelter for LGBT+ migrants in Tijuana!
We are Jardín de las Mariposas, a shelter for LGBT+ migrants fleeing violence and discrimination. We urgently need to cover essential expenses to keep going. Your donation can make a difference. Donate today and transform lives!

On Mexico’s northern border, we’ve built something very special: a shelter called Jardín de las Mariposas, in Tijuana. We are much more than just a shelter. We are a temporary home for LGBT+ migrants escaping violence, rejection, or poverty. Here, they find safety, dignity, and a chance to start over.

Everyone who arrives at our doors receives medical care, legal advice for their migration processes, psychological support, and workshops to rebuild their lives. Every day, we work hard to provide a space free of violence, where everyone can be who they are without fear.

But we can’t do it alone. Today, we need your help. Our space urgently needs repairs: we have to replace the roof, fix the bathrooms, build an access ramp, and improve our basic facilities. We also need funds to keep providing food, clothing, hygiene products, and specialized care.

Your support can make a big difference. With your donation, we can offer a bed to someone who just crossed the border, a medical consultation for someone in urgent need, or legal support for someone seeking asylum to live in freedom.

Today, we ask you to join our cause.

Make your donation now. Because everyone deserves a place where they feel safe.
