OTHER CAPITAL NEEDS
As you might imagine, running a household of 124 children and 11 staff members has its challenges. Just as with your home, our home needs to be maintained, including things like painting, updating electrical systems, and rebuilding structures that are failing.
​
We are also constantly looking for ways to create sustainable projects that will serve to benefit the children long term. Things like the bore hole for clean water and the planting of a garden for fresh vegetables. Below is a list of our top priorities for 2025 and beyond in order of priority.

-
NEW VEHICLE FOR THE HOME: It is time to purchase Amos a new "used" car. His 10-year-old Nissan is the only vehicle at the home and it has over 200,000 miles. A reliable vehicle is critical to meet the on-going needs of the home. The estimated cost for this truck is $30,000.
-
NEW RETAINING WALL BEHIND THE NEW DUPLEX: The Home needs to protect its investment in the new Duplex by building a retaining wall behind this structure. The cost of this wall is estimated at $7,000.
-
DEMO & REBUILD THE GIRL'S DORMITORY: The current girl's dorm is the oldest building remaining on the property and is beginning to fail. Current plans estimate a need of $40,000 to fully rebuild this structure with $18,400 already donated for this purpose. Please consider giving to this $21,600 need.
