Hogar Immanuel
Hogar Immanuel
In the Dominican Republic we currently serve nineteen (19) children with mental and physical disabilities. These children live at Hogar Immanuel. Most of the children attend physical and occupational therapy daily. Verbal communication is limited; however most of the children understand what is going on around them. Some of the children are mobile and will be by your side when you are visiting. There are a few who are bed-ridden, and limited in their activities but love to be cared for and loved just the same.

We depend only on donations and we need your help and generosity to continue to provide the care these children need and deserve.

What a Donation can do...

  • $40 Feed one child for a month
  • $65 medication for a child for one month
  • $250 covers the cost to care for two children monthly

Meet Johnny Martinez: He was 10 years old when this picture was taken in 2008. Johnny has meningitis, physical and mental disabilities. He came to Mustard Seed Communities in May 2001. He was abandoned on the door steps of a clinic, so not much is known about his past. Johnny was not able to walk when he was admitted to our home but with extensive physical therapy he is now walking and running as any other child. He loves to play and always has a smile on his face.

Meet Jessica Polanco: She was 15 years old when this photo was taken in 2008. Jessica was born with cerebral palsy and psychomotor delay. Jessica came to Mustard Seed Communities in February 2008. Based on what we know of her past, she had not visited a doctor for over 8 years. Jessica lost her mother to cancer in late 2007 and her relatives were not able to care for her. Jessica is not able to move around on her own and lies in one position until someone can assist her. She is very pleasant and loves to touch.Jessica Polanco
