How to give to Children’s Compassion Fund
The generous contributions of individual people—people who are concerned about the safety, basic needs and spiritual welfare of abandoned and special needs children—make this vital ministry possible. Children’s Compassion Fund makes a way for your compassion to make a difference in a child’s life. Your gift will help provide a loving home for an at–risk or special needs orphan.
Your financial donations are needed to help provide:
Basic necessities for one child at $35 per month
Life–changing surgery for an average cost of $350
Operating expenses for a children’s home at $250 per month
