Help us buy a home for kids who have nowhere else to go.

For about $100,000, we can buy a property and open a permanent home for twelve teenagers aging out of Rodolfo's care — and set them on a path to college or a trade.

Just getting started — be among the first to put a roof over these kids.

The opportunity

We found the building.

A property with two buildings and land — listed at $160,000 — is available to us for $80,000. With some work to make it ready, it becomes a permanent home for the twelve teenagers aging out of care, built around one goal: getting them into college or a trade before they leave.

The man the judges trust

Rodolfo doesn't say no.

He was a pastor. Then he went to law school — on purpose — to become a family lawyer, so he could pull children out of the system from the inside. By law, a home his size can care for twelve kids. But the judges in Iquitos keep bringing him a thirteenth, a fourteenth, because he's the one person they trust. He and his wife, with a couple of grandmothers helping, raise them all. They built an addition onto their own house just to give the girls a place to sleep.

He funds it himself. He opened barbershops — staffed by men he pulled off the street — and every dollar of profit goes back into the work. Friday nights he's out feeding and praying with people on the street. Saturdays, a children's church in the poorest neighborhood in the city. Sundays, church, and then a service inside the women's prison.

Where every dollar goes

The heart of the mission · Isaiah 61

The home isn't the finish line — it's the start. Rodolfo's goal for every teenager who ages out is a real future: college or a trade, not the street. He even stays in touch with the kids' parents, working to rehabilitate families so the next generation isn't born into broken roots. A building gives him the room to do all of it.
