Children's Group Support
This Youth Group is for vulnerable children and teens from families where addiction, abuse or poverty causes crisis at home.
Leaders offer consistency, care and stability, and meet basic needs when food and clothes are needed. Fun activities and educational support address development opportunities that are lacking at home.
A EXCITING NEW BUILDING IS IN PROGRESS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GROUP. Find out about LEGACY LODGE.
The Need
In the area where the Open Hearts Youth Group operates, there is significant poverty, addiction and homelessness. These challenges have a knock-on effect on the children and teenagers from these homes, leading to neglect and a lack of opportunities that aid development, build friendships, and provide education.
This group is changing all that!
What your donations do
The children come from the Crisis Centres and from homes in the local community where poverty, neglect or parental addiction means families are struggling.
Its Christian leaders are reliable role models who provide consistency for vulnerable young people. Donations allow them to dedicate time, fund activities, provide resources, give food, arrange transport, use premises, and more.
Artem's father is an alcoholic, which causes him to be verbally abusive to his son. Artem stays with his grandmother, and at the group, he receives the support he needs to understand that his father's actions are not his fault. He is taught about forgiveness and about Jesus, and he gets help to stay on top of his schoolwork.
