SAN ANTONIO — At Casa de Misericordia (House of Mercy) near Piedra Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, children who have been abandoned or removed from their home due to severe neglect or unsafe conditions are provided with a secure place, food, and a caring, stable environment. For the 30-40 children who call Casa de Misericordia home at any given time, that environment can now offer even greater relief, thanks to a donation from Friedrich Air Conditioning.
The company recently donated and volunteered the installation of two Friedrich ductless-split air conditioning systems at the Casa de Misericordia, providing major respite and comfort for the children and caregivers at the orphanage. Given Piedras Negras’ arid climate, average temperatures range from 90°-100°F from May through September, which can cause the temperature inside Casa de Misericordia to spike up to 120°.
