El Ranchito de los Niños – Keeping Brothers & Sisters Together



Autumn is God’s way of showing us how beautiful change can be.
Fall brings crisp air, bright orange pumpkins, the beautiful hues of the changing leaves and apples galore! This season has so much to offer, especially how beautiful change can be. We don’t just see change in the Autumn season, but each and every day we see the difference we are making in the lives of our children. They change so quickly before our eyes, but the biggest transformation is the confidence they build every day they spend with us. As their sense of security grows they become an innocent child once again. It’s this change that is the most beautiful – from scared and lost to enjoying the everyday pleasure of being a kid.
Autumn is also the season of gratitude. We want to say thank you to each of our donors, volunteers and staff for their dedication to our mission. It truly takes a village to raise a child (in this case, 14 children!) and each of you are changing lives one child at a time. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
(Romans 15:13)
