Christmas Fiesta!

Christmas came early for our kids in the Dominican! Yesterday we had a huge fiesta for our precious street kids! They partied, they got their face painted, they danced, they sang, they ate, they played, and they got to just be kids! And although their Christmas won’t be spent with family or opening lots of presents from Santa, they are so thrilled that they were able to celebrate Christmas at our mission house!  They don’t have family to spend this holiday day and they won’t receive any gifts. December 25th will just be a normal day for our street kids. Jesus is truly the reason for the season and we are so thankful that our street kids were able to celebrate His birthday! #missionaryatheart

We will provide you with a personalized card recognizing your gift for you to give your friends, family, or employees. Just imagine your loved ones opening a gift and learning that you helped feed precious street kids in their honor!

 

We invite you to be a part of our dream!

Thanksgiving!

Today I am beyond thankful to be all of my street kids “mama”! What a blessing it is! Although my Thanksgivings don’t look traditional and they are not spent eating turkey, dressing, and pecan pie....I feel like I truly am getting to experience the perfect meaning of Thanksgiving! Feeding all of my street kids their normal rice, beans, and meat today was a perfect day in my book! Eating lunch at our mission house is the only meal these kids get each day...YOU can help provide these meals! Visit the “donate” page to get plugged in and start changing lives! The kids and I would be so grateful if you partnered with us! #missionaryatheart
