Lucey’s Home of Love and Hope

Dear Friends,

You are receiving this e-mail invitation because you are important to me. An old African Proverb states, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Lucey’s Home of Love and Hope (LHLH) is a grass-roots initiative with a mission of providing a permanent home to abandoned children (ages 8-18) currently in our state’s Protective Care System.

Your prayers or financial support of the upcoming (LHLH) gala will immediately place you among our list of village supporters that are committed to making this dream a reality. Please visit our website www.luceyhomeofloveandhope.org for more information on our vision of sharing love and hope to children in need.
