This is how our street kids sleep. Huddled in a group outside of a bar. Our kids stick together because there is power in numbers and they typically have to fight for their lives. This is the image we see each morning as we go around in our van picking up our kids that are apart of our feeding program. I honestly cannot imagine the lives these kids have and the traumatic experiences they have gone through and I have seen it for over 5 years. Please help us feed our kids! We truly cannot do it without our monthly sponsors! Are you interested in becoming a monthly sponsor? Explore our website for more info or email me: caroline@dominicankids.com. All donations go directly towards our kids and are tax deductible! We would be so blessed if you became apart of our Dominican family! #missionaryatheart
Trash for Dinner
Life in a third world county. This sweet and precious girl is scavenging though the garbage trying to find enough food to eat or some scraps she can sell in hopes of buying some food to fill her aching belly. This is unimaginable here in the States but it is a way of life for many of our kids in the Dominican Republic. School is starting back in the Dominican but many of our kids cannot attend school. Our kids families depend on them to find enough "good trash" to be able to help buy food for the day so school is out of the question. Try and imagine the smells, the bacteria, the dangers, and the filth. This is real life for our kids. Help us feed these children so they do not have to dig through the trash. We cannot do what we do without the help of our monthly sponsors! Visit The donate now page for more information! #missionaryatheart
Broken Toys
A broken toy that most would think of as trash. However this precious street boy finds joy in it and is so proud of his treasure. Sometimes my kids truly make me realize the most important things in life. They help me to see how some things have so much potential if you just give them a little love. And to this little boy...his toy works just as good as one that would have cost $$$. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to have a relationship with every single one of our kids in the Dominican Republic and to see God’s unique plan unfold for them! Because of our sponsors, lives are being changed every single day! Would you like to partner with us? We would be so blessed to have you! Visit the donate page for more info! ❤️ #missionaryatheart
Orphans...
“We learned that orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.”

Emptying The Ocean...
As I lay in bed tonight with all of the comforts I havejust by living in the U.S. I can’t help but think about my sweet babies in the Dominican Republic. Most of our kids live on the streets and are sleeping on the sidewalk outside of crowded bars full of drinking, smoking, and dancing. Our kids that do have a home typically do not have a bed and sleep on the dirt floor of their tin shack like the picture shown. And sometimes I feel super defeated and that trying to make a difference in a third world county is like emptying the ocean one drop at a time. However, I am always up for an adventure so I will continue to raise funds and love and feed these kids every day because that is my calling and purpose. Are you interested in helping? Become a monthly sponsor or make a one time donation. Our sponsors are how our kids get fed each day! Without them we truly could not do what we do. Your donations are tax deductible. Don’t want to make a commitment...enter the raffle we have going on or purchase a tin cross. 100% of the $ goes directly towards expenses for our kids. We are so thankful for every single person that partners with #missionaryatheart!
