Fostering the Dream has selected the Almon family as our initial project. We will be building a new home, giving the family something functional, safe, beautiful and special. This is where we need your help. Please prayerfully consider how you would like to participate in this project. Check out the list of fund-raising ideas below and join us in Fostering the Dream.
