Your support helps ensure that the children at Mission Santa Maria will continue to receive the care they need in a safe, loving atmosphere.

These children come here mainly because they have no other family members to care for them. Many come from physically or sexually abusive situations. They arrive at the mission broken, where they receive food, schooling, a house, psychological help, and routine medical care. But they are mostly healed through the love of the missionary sisters that care for them. Over time, they begin to smile again and to laugh. At Mission Santa Maria they recover their dignity and are given a new hope through the education and compassionate care they  receive. It is through your sponsorship that this new hope is made a reality.
