House Sponsorship
Battling on their knees on the front lines for every child in their home...Opening their door, and heart, to care for children who have been the victim of tragic circumstances...Dedicating their lives to modeling what healthy family relationships are supposed to look like. This is just a fraction of what our house parents are called upon to be and do.
House Sponsorship allows you to come alongside them in their calling. In addition to providing specific funding for each house, the sponsorship also ensures that each of our house parents and house helpers get paid. As has sometimes happened in Casa Bernabe history, when funds have run low, these families go without pay, sometimes for months.
$2000/MO.
Currently only 3 of our 8 houses are sponsored.
Casa Samuel
Situated at the top of the hill is Casa Samuel. Rony and Yesenia have been house parents for more than 5 years. In addition to their two daughters, Rony and Yesenia parent 10 boys who enjoy cooking together, soccer and board games. As a family they love laughing and playing together.
Rony also provides pastoral care for the families in our Families United program. House mom, Yesenia shared this with us. “Casa Bernabé, for me, has been a very important place where I have been able to serve and learn a lot. It is an incomparable place where God restores lives, not only of children, but also of adults. I have many years of service and still feel the same passion as if it were the first day. In all this time God has been faithful.”
As a house, they have asked that we pray for the children and young people of Casa Samuel, so that God will restore their lives and continue to meet their needs.

Luis and Nuvia, the house parents of Casa Nueva Esperanza, are our longest serving house parents. They have been house parents for almost 10 years.

Casa David
Casa David’s house parents, Wilmer and Fernanda, have been house parents since 2017. They have two daughters who share their parents with a group of 11 boys from ages 3 to 14. The boys can often be seen playing with their puppy Chase or making ramps for their toy cars.
“Each story of an orphan child begins with a tragedy.And it usually gets worse. If we open our home to these children, it means that we will also feel their pain. Adoption reflects the gospel not only in its beauty, but also in the pain that accompanies it”

We asked Leonel and Meylin what, to them, made Casa Bernabé so special. This was their response, “We know that Casa Bernabé is a ministry loved by God. And in this time, that has been so difficult for all of humanity, we have realized even more of the Lord’s love and faithfulness to all of us, his children. It is our privilege to serve here.”
