A wonderful family with 6 kids just put an addition on their painfully small casita.

The kids are sleeping in a room without windows or a door which is open to the outside.

I am hoping there is someone who might be replacing their doors or windows who is willing to donate them.

I can pick them up if you have them.

Can anyone help????

I went and checked out Uoscale Resale and the window was still there but it was $450 pesos and very small. I'll keep looking!

Thanks though for the information.

Windows come in many sizes in the USA. However, most Mexican windows are built to fit the hole. So, searching for a used window to fit might be a futile exercise.

Yes RVGringo that is true, but in Mexico it is beautiful that you can make the hole fit the window.

To find a window I would go to all the 2nd hand shops but would also go around to the ironworkers and ask because if they are making a different window for a remodel they usually keep the original window.

You're so smart.
