Why People Give

“The opportunity to help children who never had a chance to experience art, or outings to the beach. To be able to help children get additional education if they want to do that. The opportunity to help better their lives with better health care if that is needed. All children need the chance to hope. I hope that my monthly donation will help the children reach their own goals and improve their own lives when they leave the orphanage. That is why I have donated for years.”

— Leslie, Long-time Supporter

“I have traveled 25 years to various countries doing missionary work. I give my time freely and I’m asked to make monetary donations. Before I donate money I do an assessment to determine if people are doing the work/ministry that they claim. Mama Leeza does it all and more. I have visited the orphanage, I have seen care given to animals and people. Join me in giving to a worthwhile cause.”

— Bishop V. Ricardo Thomas
