House of Charity

Healing Home

Since 1997, The House of Charity has housed the children we sponsor for medical care at local hospitals and clinics in apartments, hotel rooms and volunteers’ homes. In April of 2002 the board of directors of The House of Charity decided to move forward with its plan of purchasing a home that would be a permanent location to house these children providing:

We searched Houston for the perfect location and found a duplex in West Houston in the Walnut Bend subdivision. This home is more than just a place to stay for these children. We are providing a safe and comfortable environment for these children to not only heal physically but also heal the mental wounds they have received from a life of special challenges, neglect and ridicule. We are helping them grow confidence and self reliance by teaching them the necessary skills to survive this world. Just over three weeks after we closed on the property we were able to move the children from the apartment to The House of Charity Healing Home.

Healing Home

This home is more than just a place to stay for these children. It is a safe and comfortable environment for these children to not only heal physically, but to also heal the mental and emotional wounds they have received over years of difficult struggle, facing challenges, neglect, ridicule, and turmoil.

The most beautiful part about the Healing Home is that it brings children from different areas and backgrounds together to come and live under one roof, just like a family. We would love for all of you to come and visit the home, so whenever you have time, please call and arrange to come and spend some time with the children and take a glimpse of the magic that takes place in the Healing Home every single day.

The home can accommodate 25 children at a time, who are constantly under the care and supervision of a registered nurse and dedicated volunteers. All local children travel with one parent and 90% of the international children travel with an escort and stay in our healing home. Their stays can range from 6 months to 9 months to full one year, and most children require multiple surgeries
