2020 Project Proposal for HOPe La Posadita del Buen Pastor Fr. Joseph Fedora, M.M. ...Your gift of $5,245 this year will ...

HOPe has partnered with Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers for several years through the support of Posadita del Buen Pastor, The Good Shepard Inn, which began as a shelter for children with HIV.  The purpose was to provide shelter, food and medical care.

 Because of the success of preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV and the diminishing stigma attached to the disease, La Posadita has now become a shelter for abused young women and children who have been victims of human trafficking, and those living in extreme poverty.

With HOPe’s help we provide these young vulnerable girls safety and education. 

Currently sixteen girls between the ages of 11 and 18 reside at the Inn.  The Good Shepherd Sisters administer the program and five Sisters live at the Inn.  Six employees and 25 volunteers also assist in providing for their health, well being, protection and education.

          Your gift of $5,245 this year will help make this difficult time of pandemic easier for them and improve the lives and futures of these young girls helping them to break the cycle of poverty.
