These are homes where they learn to interact both spiritually and socially with peers and loving house parents. They attend the same schools, participate in extra-curricular activities, go to church together, do homework together, and learn to make unique contributions to their family.

Planned Giving-Your Legacy

A "planned gift" is a way of leaving a legacy of helping children and senior adults in need for many years to come. A "planned gift" can be in the form of cash, stock, real estate, life insurance, a percentage of your estate, or a variety of other ways that can be included in or easily added to your will. Since there are substantial tax advantages in "planned giving," we reccomend that you consult with your financial advisor, accountant, or attorney who can advise you on the method most advantageous to you. If you do not have a qualified professional to assist you, let us know and we would be happy to recommend someone to you. Please consider leaving a legacy that will give hope for a better future to the at-risk children and seniors in need.
