In order to make our goal of opening a home a reality in the next
three years, we have to raise between $250,000 & $500,000. Our
goal is to raise between $40,000 and $60,000 this year, and then to
double that amount each year over the next three years. This money
will help us obtain a house, hire an executive director, and get our
project off the ground. We are confident we can do this, but we need
your help! We welcome your donation. We would be pleased to talk with
anyone you think might want to help us.

"I went to L'Arche after college thinking I
would help other people, but I soon realized that I was the one who was
being changed into a better person. Day by day, I learned from the core
members what it truly means to love unconditionally and find the beauty
and gifts in each person. I left L'Arche forever changed and sought out
ways to continue relationships with people with developmental disabilities,
because it is through these relationships that I find the greatest sense
of peace, fulfillment and hope for the world."

L'Arche Atlanta President
