BOY'S HOME PROJECT

Currently, we are in the process of building an all new Boy's home.  We have felt the need for some time to separate the living quarters for the young boys.  We believe this effort will advance the vision we have of providing a better family environment for the boys.  We are looking to raise around $90,000 to complete this home.  We hope that you will see a need in your heart to partner with us and help contribute towards this exciting new venture.
