Where Most Needed

Help Where the Need is Greatest

Homelessness. Medical emergencies. Natural disaster. Your donation helps children when they need it most.

Many vulnerable children need urgent help now.

Poverty makes it hard for children to access their most basic of needs like food and water. So when emergencies strike, meeting urgent needs is often an impossibility for vulnerable children and their families. Your support can help us provide what a child needs in the most challenging of circumstances.

Your support helps children like Adriely.

At just 7 years old, Adriely watched as flames ravaged her childhood home. The fire destroyed nearly everything her family owned. And without close relatives, Adriely, her 5-year-old brother and her mother were left scared and alone.

Our local church partner stepped in immediately to support the family, providing their most urgent needs: a bed, mattress, blankets, kitchen equipment, school supplies and food baskets.

“We lost practically everything, so everything they gave us was a great help. They provided us with the things we needed the most.” — Maribel, Adriely’s mother
