SUPPORT residing Hope
Meet Lily.
Lily is a resident at the Residing Hope - Enterprise campus. After suffering from emotional abuse and neglect from her biological family, Lily is finding healing and safety at Residing Hope.
For many children just like Lily, Residing Hope becomes the loving family they so desperately need. And isn’t that what we all want…to be cared for and loved?
You can make this a truly magical Christmas for all the children in Residing Hope’s care, whether on their Enterprise campus, the Madison Youth Ranch, or in their foster care homes.
In addition to making their Christmas joyous, your gift today can be used to help the children in many ways, including:
The purchase of gifts to place under the tree
Providing for a child’s daily needs and therapy
The tutoring needed to get a child back on grade level
Covering the fees associated with college and trade school entrance
These are just a few of the many ways that your gifts can make an impact on their lives.
