Volunteering Your Services & Mission Work
To build a home and hospice requires a team of individuals willing to provide household items, clothing and financial support. It will take approximately $250,000 per year to successfully medicate, clothe, house, educate and care for the Walking With Children House and its 20 children.
Fortunately, there have been many wonderful individuals who have supported Walking With Children from the beginning.
Mission Work Team Program
Mission work teams who come to Honduras do so to give of their time and talents, pitching in where needed. Projects include, but are certainly not limited to: painting, gardening, cleaning and general home repair. Some teams partner with local Honduran medical professionals to provide medical services in the area.
It is guaranteed to be a life-changing experience and a whole lot of fun!
If you are interested in coming to Honduras to see what we're up to, do some work, have some fun and be an integral part of our endeavor -- we would love to be your host!

Special Thanks
... to the First Presbyterian Church of Ft. Worth, Texas sent a donation from their mission committee for the second year in a row. The total is close to $9,000 and will go toward securing our start up and ongoing operations. This is an amazing blessing!
...to Leonie Webster and her United Kingdom church who has been very generous in sending a donation of $1,800 in September, 2006. Leonie’s father (her biggest supporter) visited Walking With Children in November, 2006 and will be returning again in February, 2007. It was great to meet him and see where she gets her courage and wisdom. I am looking forward to seeing him again very soon.
...to the St. John Vianney Parish in Brookfield, Wisconsin for their a donation of $1,000 after Michelle met with their mission committee. While she was in her first week of med school, caffeine overloaded, blind from night reading and arthritic from carrying so many books, Michelle went home by bus to meet with the committee and ask them to support Walking With Children. Based on her presentation, they sent this very generous donation. Thank you Michelle for the sacrifice.
...to the many individual donations that came in from September til November, 2006 from friends and family totaling almost $3,000. These donations have allowed us to continue this work.
