Miracle Three - Special Needs Children

One of the ranch’s Miracles is Casa Emmanuel and its residents. Casa Emmanuel is the house for boys with disabilities on the Ranch. There is a home for girls called Casa Maria Reina.

Currently though, there are several special needs children living in the younger children's home, who in the next 2-3 years will need to be moved to an interim house. Placing them with older special needs children is not a realistic option.



The problem is that an interim house doesn't currently exist, and if one isn't built soon, NPH will be forced to limit admission of special needs children.

The World Orphan Fund has set up a specific project fund to build the new house, so that Rancho Santa Fe can continue to love and care for these special children. Engineers are currently drawing up specific plans, but the estimated cost is currently between $35,000-$45,000. Please consider a contribution to the World Orphan Fund to help pay for this important addition!

Also, in Tegucigalpa, Casa De Los Angeles is a specialized NPH home for children with severe disabilities. Residents suffer from a variety of neuromuscular diseases including Cerebral Palsy and Hydrocephalus. These children require around-the-clock monitoring and specialized therapies. A dozen high school aged Pequenas live in the home and help with their care.

Rancho Santa Fe's exceptional commitment to take care of God's most special children is truly a miracle.
