SPONSOR A CHILD

"We live in a trailer that in my opinion is condemned, was suppose to be used for storage, however, we are trying our best to manage it. The front door is almost completely torn from the walls, we keep it covered with what ever I can find to keep out the cold. We go down in to the creek surrounding our home and get wood that we can carry to help at night. I do not have a cook stove. We have a wood stove that I use to heat up water and an electric pot that I do all of our cooking with. "

SUPPORT THE YOUTH PROGRAMS

"In these communities are many young people with visions, dreams, and hopes for a better future...in this poor socio-economical community, the chances of the young reaching their dreams is little or none. BY twenty years old they have already given up their hopes and dreams...The waste of talent is extremely hard to watch, especially if you love your people the way I do."
