St Joseph House for Boys
Since 1929, St Joseph House has been a refuge for boys with nowhere else to turn — children who are orphaned, abandoned, abused, or neglected. Today, 55 boys call this house their only home.
But the house that has protected them for generations is in urgent need of refurbishment. Cracks in the walls, worn-out facilities, and unsafe spaces now threaten the very children it was built to shelter. Without repairs, their safety and dignity are at risk.
We are raising $15,000 to refurbish St Joseph House, ensuring the boys can grow up in a safe, nurturing environment — with strong walls, secure spaces, and renewed hope.
Every contribution will help restore not just a building, but the childhoods of 55 vulnerable boys who deserve protection, stability, and a chance to dream again.
