Needs and Dreams for 2014

Current monthly giving: around $700 a month

Basic needs to continue: $2000 a month

Fully supporting each Living Stones: $6000 a month

Dreams to accomplish all of our goals: $7000 a month

Each dollar counts, but what we desperately need is faithful giving by people who understand that the children need to be provided for all year, not just Christmas (wribrazil.com/foundationbuilders). A monthly gift of any amount helps us be consistent supporters of our brothers and sisters in Brazil.
