The full vision
The home, resident rights, governance, financial guardrails, and the long view.
FOUNDING BOARD · CASA DE SAM
A small beginning. A lasting purpose.
We’re looking for Paraguayan and American people who want to help protect a simple promise: a lifelong home where adults with significant support needs belong, without having to earn their place.
First, help lay the foundations.
Between now and formation, we expect a modest planning commitment: read the vision, offer thoughtful feedback, join occasional conversations, and contribute relevant experience or connections. This is an invitation to explore, not a request to take on an undefined job.
Our goal is to establish the nonprofit in Paraguay and a Friends of organization in the United States in February–March 2027. This is a planning target, subject to legal guidance and the formation process—not a guaranteed completion date.
Get to know the promise.
We value sound judgment, care for the mission, and a willingness to listen. Experience in Paraguay, governance, law, accounting, disability support, or building lasting organizations can help—but a title alone is not what makes someone a good fit.

Casa de SAM is still in planning. It is not yet a registered nonprofit, is not operating programs or admitting residents, and is not accepting donations.
