Pictured here with her daughter, Kamryn, Kim Hamilton has become a
beacon of hope for families in the Dominican Republic, raising funds
to build homes for
seven families
through her
famous gourmet caramel apples. Her handcrafted apples
aren’t just delicious—they’re life-changing. Each sale helps provide
essentials like doors, windows, and roofs for families in need.
The Newest Story: A Home for Four Generations
Meet Mauviette Borgella and Jean Claude Alexander, and their granddaughter, Yelica, and her baby, Yeili. This remarkable family spans generations, united by love and resilience in the Dominican Republic.
They dream of a safe, sturdy home where grandparents, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren can live together in dignity. With your help, that dream is within reach.
Kim Hamilton’s famous caramel apples are once again making miracles happen—raising funds to provide doors, windows, and shelter for families like theirs.
Every apple sold brings them closer to home. Every donation opens a door. Every act of kindness builds a legacy.
Their
rented home, where they are now living (and have difficulty paying
rent),is in terrible condition and floods every time it rains
(very often). 
With no space inside the home, the "kitchen" extends to outdoors.
Sadly,
they only have one bed for four people. 
One apple. One gift. One family forever changed. Don’t just donate—make a difference that lasts generations!
Here are some of the homes that Kim has raised funds for with her apples!!
Your
donations qualify for a charitable tax receipt in Canada or the USA.
Whether you crave a sweet treat or want to give from the heart, we welcome both apple purchases and direct donations. Every contribution helps build a safe, lasting home for a family in need.
