Dear Friends in Christ,

I am writing today URGENTLY asking for your help. Summertime has seen a significant drop in giving for us and we are  in IMMEDIATE need  of financial donations in order to keep providing services to survivors of sex trafficking here in San Diego County. St. Bakhita’s Program for adult women with children coming out of this life is 100% donor funded and these women and their kids rely on us for helping meet some of their basic needs like housing and transportation while they work on their healing and laying a foundation for their future.

The Refuge, our residential treatment program for teenage girls, is partially funded by the foster care system, but counties often pay us up to 5 months after we have housed, fed, and provided individual, equine, and group therapies to their girls, in addition to ensuring they are provided with a good education and psychiatric services. This obviously is not a source of funding we can completely rely on and we humbly ask for your help today so that we can keep caring for these
girls who are in so much need of love and a stable living environment.

We want so much for those we serve to be able to experience Redemption – the glorified wounds of Christ shining out in their own souls and flesh. But we cannot do it without your support. Please donate TODAY – your reward will be great in heaven!
Yours in Christ,
Grace Williams Lionello

Children of the Immaculate Heart (CIH) serves survivors of trafficking in San Diego.

CIH offer a housing and rehabilitation program for adult women and their children, as well as a newly licensed short term residential treatment facility for minors.

We provide services resulting in holistic healing, primarily through therapy, job training, case management, education, and more. Through means of this work, we aim to restore everyone - our clients, our staff, and our supporters - in the same Jesus Christ.
