Bautista Foster Family - Benefits foster children from Bienvenidos FFA, McKinley Children's Home, David & Margaret FAA. In 2003 we sent 22 foster children to Disneyland for the day, meals included!
Garden of Angels - In 1996, a very loving woman named Debi Faris established the Garden of Angels to provide dignified burials for abandoned and discarded babies. To date 65 babies have been laid to rest in the Garden of Angels. These ceremonies are attended by hundreds of people, police officers, fire fighters, etc., who openly weep for these lost baby souls. Please visit the website -- it is quite a moving gift of love to these innocent angels who never had a chance in life.
