Empower abused, neglected, developmentally disabled children,homeless teens and pregnant teens with housing and through education, support services, gardening and ranch skills. This includes instructions in everyday life skills, responsibilities and animal therapy. These children benefit by learning different trades, that will enrich their lives in the future.

( This housing facility will become a residential shelter for abused, neglected, developmentally disabled children, homeless children and pregnant teens.)

"Big Hearts with Helping Hands" is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to aiding over 50 children, in child residential housing facility that we need to raise funds for. Our mission is to provide a secure residence for all abused, neglected, developmentally disabilited children, pregnant teens, homeless teens and an emergency respit facility.

Child neglect and abuse is a 24 hour, 7 days a week occurrence. This problem has risen dramatically during our economic hardship. The children's ages range from newborns to high school graduate students. Many of these abused and neglected children are also homeless, which increases the amount of abuse many of these children suffer.

The different types of abuse affects these children's ability to get the learning perspectives needed for a great education. They are not able to focus their attention in school. It also leads to bullying and negative feelings, at no fault of their own.

Our goal is to drastically help reduce the incidences of child neglect and abuse. To achieve this goal, "Big Hearts with Helping Hands of Arizona organization" would like to aquire a facility, so we can co-ordinate prevention and awareness efforts, special education and emergency respit programs in the State Of Arizona. We sincerely feel our Education Residence housing will provide needed assistance to many neglected and abused children, including those with developmental disabilities, homeless teens and pregnant teens. Many of these children may need of special education, but all of them will need to learn life skill activities, good hygeine and healthy eating habits.

We are looking to aquire a building that will suit all of these children's needs. Those wishing to volunteer with us in this program are greatly appreciated. The rewards of aquiring a functional facility that will benefit many less fortunate children in need of a place to call home. It is important to provide children with a sate place to go, a place to learn a much needed education, life skills and provide our community with a much needed emergency respite facility. Safe child interaction is important in everyday life.

We are very interested in having members and volunteers willing to help us aquire and develop a fun and safe place to live, while being given the opportunity to get the education needed to live to their fullest ability.

We like to promote and provide the benefits of handcrafted gifts, new and used donated items, public BBQ events to benefit the community, disaster relief, older RV's to provide shelter and running vehicles for people to get the children to the doctors appointments. The vehicle is also used to transport chidlren to special, privte and out of district schools.
