A NEW HOME!

December 2012, the children settled into the new *100-year-old* home that many volunteers and donors helped modify…

They attend a new school and have adjusted to being a family of six well….

The children have a mom, Tia care-givers and many friends who help out …

July 2013 Residence of Life received news that they would have to move from the home. The land-owners (who live in Australia) will be returning to live in Costa Rica in 2 years and 8 months. 

Founder of Residence of Life, Cherie McCullah needs help finding land and building a “permanent” home, immediately.

Although she has 32 months before the move,  the need to begin building is urgent.  It took a little over two years to modify this home and  get approval from the Health and Child Protection Agencies.

The equipment, furniture and upgrades that our donors invested in will be moved to the new home.

Please pray and give as you are able. We do not want to see this new family have to rent again. 

We do not want them to become homeless, or have to share a home with someone.

The consequences of not providing homes for abandoned children means that the kids will end up stuck in the system with little chance of being adopted. 

Residence of Life is the only permanent home they have had in their life.

ABINA is committed to helping with the needs of abandoned, orphaned, abused and underprivileged children in Central America. 

The most urgent need is to help Cherie raise the funds for a new and larger piece of property in Atenas.

When Residence of Life vacates the current property, ABINA will help in removing the cabinetry our donors and volunteers built, leaving the home to look just as it did when we began in 2010.

The children’s beds, benches, swings, & laundry stay with the children.
