It is with great joy we announce the arrival of our first residents, with more on the way promising a full house soon.
As you can imagine with the opening of the home there has been a significant impact on our financial resources. Providing round-the-clock care for our residents is very expensive. One hundred and sixty-eight hours per week is over $3,300 just for our care coordinators. We have a small team of volunteers that are helping with this need right now, but that is not sustainable for the long term.
Moreover, we have the privilege of providing three nutritious meals a day plus snacks for each resident, a responsibility that will expand with each new family welcomed into our home. The expenses for gas, groceries, diapers, and clothing are accumulating rapidly. Some of these needs will be met by local resources yet it takes time for paperwork to be approved when a new family arrives.
The financial need is great. Will you consider this immediate need, and help us meet this need? Contribute Here
Additionally, we’ve curated a needs list on Amazon for those who wish to contribute in that way. We gladly take donations as well – please email volunteer@onehoperefuge.org to coordinate. We need 3XL clothing and 2 year old female baby items including clothing, toys, and necessary baby supplies. We have a 4 year old boy in 5T-6T and shoe size 13 on the way.
Caring for the various aspects of our ministry truly takes a village. We offer a range of volunteer opportunities and would be thrilled to have you join us in sharing the love of Christ at Onehope Refuge. Click here to explore the diverse volunteer roles available.
Sharing about our ministry with friends and family is so helpful in gaining support. Would you please forward this information to your friends and family.
Our Lord has brought us to this exciting stage in ministry, and we are confident that He will provide to meet our needs. Won’t you join Him and be a part of this exciting ministry that is transforming the lives of people right before our eyes.
