Children's Center (Friendship Home)
Donate to help transform lives
In the slums of Manila, vulnerable boys and girls live in extreme poverty, with little hope of ever escaping the generational poverty of their parents and grandparents. Sometimes, these children are even orphaned or abandoned, leaving them to fend for themselves on the harsh city streets.
While they may become invisible to others, they are not forgotten by God, and he has raised up Brother Luis Ortiz to provide them with a path out of their situation. Brother Luis founded the Friendship Home to give children like these a place where they can find love, peace and hope. Help us empower this work of mercy and bless another 175 children and their families in the coming year.

Financial Accountability
At Cross Catholic, we meticulously honor the intent of our donors. All proceeds are restricted for the specific project for which they are raised. In that rare event that more funds are received than are required for a specific project, the additional funds will be used to meet the most urgent needs.
Fundraising & Administrative Expenses 5.82%
More than 94 percent of all organizational expenses, including donated goods, went directly to programs that help the poor.
Audited Financials FY2022
Proceeds from this campaign will be used to cover any expenditures incurred through June 30, 2024, the close of our ministry’s fiscal year. In the event that more funds are raised than needed to fully fund the project, the excess funds, if any, will be used to meet the most urgent needs of the ministry.
