Please Donate to Help These Orphans

We are now a 501 (c)! Please donate using the form on this page. You can get a tax deduction this way.
You can also use the Paypal button below, but please note this is not through the charity and therefore you will not be able to receive a tax deduction using this method.

Background for this Project

This family of orphans were found in a village in Uganda in June 2009. As you can see from the before picture above they were all sick and living in substandard conditions. Their basic needs, including food, water and shelter were not being met. Villagers and extended family knew they were destitute but could do little to help.
This project fully provides for them. Since June 2009 the children have been living with Ester, their deceased mother's cousin. Ester runs a local restaurant, The Five Angel's Snack Shop, for income to care for the children. All monies to start the business and to care for the orphans were made possible thorough individual donations.
This has proven to be a successful sustainable project. The Snack Shop is still running and the children are healthy and happy. The income generated from the shop, however, is not enough to fully cover the children's expenses. The costs to educate them and to care for Richard's infected bone in his left leg are high. As such, donations are critical.
I remain in close contact with the children and Ester and will indefinitely. I will also continue to send them money to ensure their basic needs are met.
Please consider donating. 100% of all donations go directly to these needy children. There are no overhead costs for this project.
To learn more about the children and their incredible story, please read the My Kids tags.
Thank you for all your help!
