Easter Donation

If you haven't yet had a chance to donate to Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos, we ask you to consider making an Easter gift. Many of their fundraising efforts (budgeted at $1 Million) were cancelled due to the pandemic.

Would you consider sponsoring a child? You can transform the life of a vulnerable child by providing them with a home, healthcare, and an education.

Please join us this Easter Season!
