La Casa de mi Padre
Counseling Program Support - 2022
La Casa de mi Padre’s ministry helps children and their family members break the chains of their pasts, move into restoration, and offers a path to a better future. Their counseling program is a critical component of their ministry as it impacts all 28 of their children and 50 of their family members. These funds subsidize salaries for staff counselors and provide funds for their education and training. They also help with costs for the children’s outside professional psychologist/psychiatrist visits and their equine therapy program.
Hope Home Family Pickup Truck - 2022
La Casa de mi Padre provides a loving home environment for children who have been removed from their biological family homes. Houseparents care for the children and model a traditional family environment. The Hope Home’s pickup truck, used on a daily basis to take children to doctor appointments, go food shopping, and run other family-related errands, was retired this year due to the need for significant and costly repairs. This gift covers the cost for a new pickup truck and annual insurance for the vehicle.
Special Education Staffing Support - 2022
Five children in La Casa's family have special needs, especially in the area of education. This proves challenging as they often require one- on-one instruction, and staff teachers need to be educated on how to best serve them. These funds cover the salary and benefits for a special education teacher, educational materials, and staff instruction.
