Upcoming & Recent Events
Nogales, Arizona
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
The Arizona Pain Foundation’s first event of 2010 was a great success. More than 25 volunteers traveled from the Phoenix area to Nogales, Arizona. The border town is like many others — plagued by poverty and illness. With the foundation’s mission in mind — to share the love of God by bringing compassion, healing and resources to those in need — the volunteers traveled to the border spend a day working with the poor at the Crossroads Nogales Rescue Mission.
Volunteers were met by staff and mission helpers who quickly listed off a lengthy number of tasks they needed help with. These included preparing lunch for the 100-plus homeless and hungry folk they were expecting; removing a faulty air conditioning duct from a church ceiling, tiling 7 bathrooms, clearing a nearby field of refuse and providing medical services to the nearly 200 people who’d heard of the group’s arrival.

Smiles Abound at Children’s Circus Event
Sunday, November 15th, 2009
Kevin George, Program Manager, Arizona Pain Foundation
“Thank you. It’s too big. No, it’s not. Yeah, it’s just too big.” Those were the words that Mike shared with me on Saturday, November 14, 2009. This was the day of the Circus in Love Park at Sunshine Acres Children’s Home. Mike is a very special young man who’s not afraid to share his gratitude, and what he feels.
Sunshine Acres Children’s Home is a non-profit, non-governmental agency that serves as home to 60 boys and girls in 6 different family-style homes. These children have been placed at Sunshine Acres because, for a variety of reasons, their families are not able to currently care for them. For some children, it is a short-term solution, while for other children it becomes a long-term answer. (more…)

Nogales, AZ
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
I went to visit the Crossroads Nogales Mission recently – researching possible locations for our medical outreach program. Located on the border of Nogales, AZ and Nogales, Sonora in Northern Mexico, this mission is incredible in its ability to meet the needs of so many with so little. (more…)
Nogales, Mexico
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Victor and Kay Hoehn of Faith Outreach for Christ live in Rio Rico, AZ where they are semi-retired teachers. However, there hearts lies in the streets of Nogales, Sonora just minutes a way and yet a world apart. They teach classes in Mexico three nights a week and are involved with seven different churches where they describe there work as the “helps ministry.” This drastically under-estimates the impact these two kind souls have on the people of Nogales, Sonora.

Sonoyta, Mexico
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
My wife and I went to Esperanza para los ninos (”Hope for the Children”) several weeks ago. This orphanage in Sonoyta approximately 50 miles south of Lukesville, Az takes care of 30 beautiful children. We took collections for several weeks and were able to take donations from many of our business partners here in Scottsdale. We were able to donate a 3 month supply of children’s vitamins for each of the children in the orphanage. It was very exciting to us here at Arizona Pain Specialists that our first paycheck came in just a few days before we left for our trip so we were able to donate this check to the children’s home. It wasn’t a lot, but we were very excited to be making a difference through our clinic. (more…)
