What This Gift Provides 

Children in poverty are at risk of homelessness for many reasons. For example, they may be orphaned or may lose their homes because of natural disasters. 

Your gift of long-term shelter provides security and hope to children in need while meeting critical daily needs that help them thrive. 

Shelter & Stability

Safe and stable shelter protects children from the elements, dangerous disease and exploitation. 

Basic Needs

Children receive critical supplies like nutritious meals, clean water and clothes. 

Hope for a Future

Children experience the love of Jesus through your gift, delivering hope beyond their circumstances.
