When they did social work delivering blankets to homeless people, The Searching Mothers of Sonora located Mario Cruz Vega, reported missing in Michoacan for 15 years.
On January 12, when the effects of the second winter storm were still being felt, they toured the town of Miguel Alemán, located on the coast of Hermosillo, looking for homeless people to give them a blanket and a cake.
They asked each person they found in a state of destitution their name, place of origin and if they wanted to return home.
In that agricultural area, Many people who arrive from states in the south of the country are left adrift when the crop harvests end; They cannot return to their places of origin and soon end up destitute.
This was the case of Mario Cruz Vega who arrived at the agricultural fields of the Hermosillo Coast and could not get ahead. For several years he was walking aimlessly and sleeping on the street.
Ceci Patricia Flores, leader of the collective, shared that They constantly carry out searches in life.
This is how they found Mario, since, during the live broadcast, his family recognized him.
“In a lifelong search that we do by bringing blankets and food to the homeless in the hope that someone will return home, and our request was heard by God and someone is already home with their family,” he shared.
Ceci Flores thanked those who with their donations help make their work, discoveries and family reunions possible.
