“IF YOU BUILD IT, WE WILL PLAY” – Kenyan Orphans

GRACE CARE CENTRE is home to over 200 children. There is nowhere for them to safely access a playing field. Please help turn their dreams into reality by contributing to this campaign, so the orphanage can purchase a field they desperately need.

The desired field is located just down the street from the Grace Care Centre in West Nairobe, Kenya.

The $56,000 will cover the costs of the field, leveling fees, legal fees, land transfer fees, and taxes.

100% of proceeds received by Lift The Children will be donated to the GRACE CARE CENTRE in their quest to purchase a field. Additional funds raised will go towards the ongoing funding of the basic needs of other Lift the Children sponsored orphanages.

Support Habitat for Humanity!

Since 1990, Hattiesburg Area Habitat for Humanity has been helping deserving families build and purchase their very first home. The families volunteer to help build their home and the homes of others and then purchase their home from Habitat for Humanity at cost with a zero interest 20 year mortgage! These monthly payments build more homes for more families.

Provide a holiday meal for HIV positive clients!

Please consider making an online donation to support the purchase of a holiday meal (or two) for HIV positive clients and their families by our World AIDS Day deadline on December 1st!

The holidays are approaching and we have a quick ask! Would you consider sponsoring a holiday meal for an HIV positive person and their family? Wellness AIDS Services is accepting donations to purchase holiday baskets for our current clients.

Each basket costs $40 will feed 6-8 people. Our goal is to purchase 50 baskets (although we have approximately 200 families in need).

Help youth write & record their original songs

FUNDS RAISED FROM THIS CAMPAIGN WILL GO TOWARDS COMPLETING OUR FIRST COMPILATION RECORD!!!

Future Youth Records is a first of its kind, full–service, non-profit record label dedicated to helping youth 12-17 years old write and release original music. The label gives kids of all socio-economic backgrounds the opportunity to release their creative energy through writing and recording music while at the same time teaching the value in supporting recorded music.

In addition to recording music on the label, other opportunities include assisting in signing talent, placing music for artists/groups, marketing, legal and sound engineering.

Help create a safe haven for Marine infantry vets

Statistics show that combat vets cope better with the stress of transitioning to life after the Corps, if they’re given the opportunity to immerse themselves in a safe environment with their fellow Marines. An MIVF Ranch can offer the stability and the safety that could save a Marine infantry veteran’s life.

Right now, the VA and the government think the solution is to dope our veterans up with more pills: pills for TBI, pills for depression, pills for stress.

We want to offer our Marines a healthier option,with wooded land, home cooked meals and a roof over their head. No matter what else might happen in life, we believe our Marine infantry veterans who have risked and sacrificed so much deserve to know that they will never go homeless or hungry. We intend to do exactly that, but we need your help.

Help with Vetting and Fees for 9 New Babies!

We made a huge effort today to pull as many dogs as we could before Thanksgiving. For those who don’t know, many shelters euthanize a large number of dogs prior to holidays so there will be less to care for. Today, we saved one very pregnant mama dog about to have puppies and 8 other dogs. Rescuing this many dogs at once is not just logistically challenging but it’s really expensive. We really need your help!
