This summer, I have the incredible opportunity to host two children through an orphan hosting program, called Project 143,  offering them a safe, nurturing environment and the love and care every child deserves. It’s a faith-based organization that connects children—many of whom are older or part of a sibling set—with loving host families for five weeks. The goal is to help them find their forever family, either through the host family themselves or through advocacy within their communities.These five weeks can be life-changing for children who have never experienced a stable family setting — giving them memories, connection, and a glimpse of hope for their future. As a host, I’m open to adoption, but I'm also committed to being a voice and a connection point for these children. After fostering for five years and welcoming 12 girls into my home—including my daughter who I recently adopted from foster care—this feels like a new, meaningful way to open our home and hearts again.

But this is just the beginning.

I’m also raising funds to purchase a dedicated home — a safe space that can serve as a refuge for children in need and a hub for ongoing ministry. This home will be used not only during the hosting season but year-round, offering support, care, and a Christ-centered environment where healing and transformation can take place.

Your support will help cover:

• Travel, clothing, and care expenses for the two hosted children this summer
• Down payment and initial costs toward securing a home for hosting and ministry
• Furnishings and preparation to make the space welcoming and safe

Together, we can create a lasting impact — not just for this summer, but for many children in the years to come. Thank you for considering partnering with me in this mission to bring love, safety, and hope where it’s needed most.

Every gift matters. Every child matters. Let’s be the difference.
