✨ Heartfelt Thanks to SanMoore & Boris C. Sanchez ✨

These are just some of the incredible stories from the families we serve:

An 80-year-old grandfather quietly raising three children on his own—no income, just love and grit.
A mother of two battling cancer while facing the fear of losing her home.
A family of five, where a little boy’s Christmas wish wasn’t a toy or a screen—it was a blanket. When he held it up to his dad, his face lit up with pure joy, as if he had just been given the world.

Every year, Boris sees these families firsthand and decides to make a difference. This year, he sponsored more than double—22 families! And he didn’t stop there:

He brought Santa, an elf, and three students to sing Christmas carols, creating a magical holiday experience for the kids. A few families from the neighborhood even came by just to take a picture with Santa!

He reached out to friends, partners, and his team at SanMoore to help even more families.
For families without transportation, Boris and his team delivered gifts personally.
For a mom working and unable to pick up her family’s gifts, Boris ensured they made it safely to her apartment.

Because of his generosity and dedication, so many families are having a brighter, warmer Christmas this year. 🎄❤️

It’s not too late to help! If you’d like to adopt a family, we still have more in need. There’s no better feeling than touching a heart and making a difference, one family at a time.

To sponsor a family, reach out to Obed Canjura at ocanjura@elcentrochc.org or make a donation on our website: www.elcentrodecorazon.org.

Another amazing event by El Centro de Corazon helping families who need it most! 💛

🎉 A big thank you to Commissioner Rodney Ellis for hosting the Annual Senior Holiday Luncheon and Resource Fair!

El Centro de Corazón was honored to be part of this wonderful event, connecting with so many seniors and sharing how we can support their health and well-being. ❤️

It was also a pleasure to connect with other community partners who are working to make a difference in our neighborhoods.

From the seamless parking to the delicious food, amazing staff, and lively entertainment, everything was perfectly planned to make the day special. It was wonderful to see so many seniors enjoying themselves, dancing, and celebrating the season.

We’re grateful to be part of this community and look forward to continuing to serve our seniors with care and compassion.

El Centro de Corazón is proud to have participated as a vendor at the 2025 Women in Agriculture Conference, hosted this year at Houston Community College – West Houston Institute by Urban Harvest, Inc.

This event brought together incredible women growers, farmers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders from across Texas to celebrate their hard work and dedication. From food justice to business building, the conference was filled with powerful conversations, delicious food, and opportunities to learn and connect.

For us, this event means even more.
At El Centro de Corazón, we’re committed to helping our community — especially our patients — learn to grow their own food so they can eat healthier and prevent sickness before it starts. Healthy soil, healthy food, healthy families. 🌱❤️

We are honored to stand with these inspiring women who are changing the future of agriculture and the future of health in our communities.

Here’s to growth, empowerment, and nourishing our people! 🌿✨

Today was a special day at the Magnolia Center!
We had the honor of giving 65 turkeys to our seniors so they can enjoy a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving meal with their loved ones.

Too often, our seniors are forgotten during the holidays—but thanks to the support of generous community partners, El Centro de Corazón was proud to be one of the sponsors helping make today possible. Together with other supporters, we work every year to ensure our seniors feel valued, remembered, and cared for.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, volunteered, and helped brighten this holiday season for the seniors at the Magnolia Center. Your generosity brings joy, hope, and connection to those who need it most.

From our El Centro family to yours—Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃❤️

🤰 What is Gestational Diabetes?

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops only during pregnancy. Many women don’t notice any symptoms — it often shows up during the middle of pregnancy, which is why regular checkups are so important.

At El Centro, we’re here to support healthy moms and healthy babies. 💛

📞 Call your El Centro provider at (713) 660-1880 to schedule your next appointment and learn more about gestational diabetes and how to manage it.

Taking care of yourself is taking care of your baby. 💕✨
