About this Fundraiser

Casa Bernabé Back to School Initiative

These children at Casa Bernabé orphanage in Guatemala City have absolutely captured our hearts at Love Runners. We are a 501(c) (3) not-for profit organization with a heart that is dedicated to meeting the needs of those living in the margins, both locally and internationally.

We have built Love Runners as sisters and moms. Each of us viewing the world though a slightly different lens but all with the same heart for children. Love in action has become the driving force in our day. For us, we want to make a difference to these hurting, neglected, abused, sometimes prickly or troubled, often unnoticed kids.

We just want them to know how much they are loved.

Let us introduce you to the children at Casa Bernabé...

Casa Bernabé is a beautiful 13-acre campus near Guatemala City that is home to more than 130 children.  Casa  Bernabé Ministries is changing the way vulnerable children are cared for in Guatemala.  Most of the Casa  Bernabé  children have come from boken homes, and are victims of abandonment, neglect, or abuse.

Each child belongs to a loving, nurturing family made up of house parents and their own children. Together they live in individual houses with 10-12 children of the same age group. As a family unit they eat, pray, play and work together. We first learned of Casa  in December of 2015 when a group traveling there sent word back home that the babies were sleeping in their coats due to a shortage of blankets. My heart broke over the thought of cold babies. The staff, at the time of this trip, hadn't received pay for multiple months, as the funding wasn't there to both provide necessities to care for the children and pay those caring for them.

Ashley Cunningham, founder of Love Runners and the Do Good Studio, will be traveling with a team to Casa Bernabé at the beginning of January 2017 to put action behind our words at Love Runners. Move. Share. Love. Over the next several months we will be working to raise the funds necessary to meet some specific needs of the children and staff at Casa Bernabé. With your help we are hoping to be able to provide things as simple as shoes, backpacks and school supplies just in time for their back-to-school in January.

Every donation is important and will enable us to be present and love on these children, tangibly, physically, and spiritually. Would you kindly consider making a donation? Also, we would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate.

Donations may also be mailed to:
