February 2017

We are planning on being able to open for our first two girls as early as the middle of February.  We need your immediate help funding the current building project which is to add a small bedroom onto the building which we will be using to temporarily house our first two girls while we continue the work on the first cabin.   This addition is expected to cost around $2000.00.  Please consider helping us to meet our February 14th Deadline!
