“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
-Leo Buscaglia

 

Happy 100th Birthday of the home 1923-2023

Help us Cut The Ribbon in 2025

The summer of 2024 saw 8 groups of children enjoy a sun soaked summer in North Wildwood. With Trips to the Beach, Lighthouse and mini golf. Along with outdoor fun in the yard and a delicious summer barbecue. A GREAT time was had by all.

Thank you to all of our summer volunteers who made the childrens stay an enjoyable one. We could not have done it without you.

Also a major THANK YOU to all of our supporters who make summer a reality for such deserving children from our region.

Please check out our 2024 Holiday Annual Appeal letter!

We are incredibly grateful for your support through the years. The steadfast commitment of our volunteers and donors has enabled us to maintain the mission and vision that Ida Dukes created over 100 years ago. The home is nearly restored; now it is time to reopen our doors as the place where children can restore their hope and spirits.

Together, we can create a summer that will not only brighten the lives of these children, but also set them on a path toward a brighter future.
