In 2001, with $25 and a calling from above, I began a journey of hope called Caring For Others. Little did I know what was in store. The owner of a warehouse agreed to rent a portion of his building for three months for $1.
The space had no heat, no toilet, no running water.
We have grown swiftly and have since purchased the building, expanded globally, and increased our giving by more than a hundredfold! Today the journey is far from over. Caring For Others continues to offer hope to the least of these and, most importantly, give a voice to the faces of poverty. This includes those who have been marginalized and remain invisible to society.
