FAQ

  • The work of Child of Mine is funded by a number of generous organizations in Western Canada as well as 260 different individuals and families. We are so very grateful for their partnership.

  • We provide financial support for food, clothing, education, facility maintenance and construction, as well as staff salaries and development.

  • Children at the homes are typically from destitute backgrounds or from families that cannot financially support them. The atmosphere at each home is very much one of a large, loving and caring family, with the older children regarding the younger ones as siblings. And so, while the homes typically have close to two hundred children (ages 6+) in their care, many of the alumni still call these unique communities their family and remain closely connected

  • Once children graduate from high school, Child of Mine continues to financially support them until they have completed their highest level of post-secondary education. Among the many graduates of the homes are teachers, nurses, chartered accountants, architects, and more.
