• A private Foundation has recently been established to assist private care givers of orphans and/or foster children in the state of Indiana.
  The Foundation's members are actively seeking Christian families who have graciously opened their homes and their hearts to the orphaned children of this world to support them not only financially, but emotionally and spiritually as well.
  The Foundation is seeking to make a long term investment in these children and needs the help of the Christian community.
  If you are aware of: Current orphan/foster care providers who are registered with the State of Indiana to legally provide foster care; who are a legal resident of the State of Indiana; and who are Christians with a compassionate heart; then the Foundations and its members would like to personally meet you.
  Please contact (317) 498-6798 to talk with the Foundation's representative and to learn more about this wonderful grace filled Mission.
  The Foundation is looking forward to creating this beautiful beginning with your help.
