For over 20 years, the Congregation of Notre Dame (CND) has generously provided us with our original home, a safe haven, for our female refugee residents.

Carty House I is a charming historic duplex that offers 12 bedrooms, welcoming common spaces, and a shared kitchen. There’s even a flower and vegetable garden – a true home!

The CND has now gifted us the Carty House I property! We are homeowners! We are truly overwhelmed with their generosity!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

But we cannot take on this enormous responsibility without you.

Presently, we find ourselves at a rare and meaningful moment — one that calls for immediate focused action and collective care.

We’re working to raise $50,000 by the end of this month to cover the initial costs of taking ownership. (As of October 30, we are at $32,142!)
