El Ranchito de los Niños, an alternative to foster care, is a safe, loving home where children grow in a supportive, family farm setting. Children ages 0 to 18 are considered for admission to the home. El Ranchito's mission is to keep brothers and sisters together, and to give siblings a stable and loving home in which they can grow into adulthood together. Children need a permanent stable home where they are loved unconditionally. While we all recognize that a home with two loving parents is the goal, the reality often falls short. The ultimate goal is to offer as many children as possible a home of their own in which to grow, creating a childhood filled with stability and love. HELP EL RANCHITO TO WIN $30,000!
