SONshine Home Campaign

A Home of Hope & Love

The Radiance Campaign… igniting beauty and light within. Strategically aligned with Billings Faith Community, Love and SONshine Ministries has a plan to open our first “SONshine Home”. These efforts and accomplishments will be realized through a campaign to raise additional funds for the final home purchase, necessary renovations, and first year operating expenses.

The Need is Staggering

Only 19 of 1300 shelter beds are for pregnant/parenting youth.

4887 at-risk or homeless pregnant/parenting youth in Montana.

20% of homeless young women will become pregnant.

50% of pregnant/parenting teens will graduate highschool.

The Why Behind Love and SONshine

The stats we shared are a sobering reminder that we have much work to do to make sure our youngest lives have the best start possible.

Safe housing is paramount in breaking the cycle of poverty.
Offering a loving and nurturing environment, while teaching basic life skills will offer these young mom’s refuge, dignity and hope.
Being surrounded by the love of a family, we can model a new perspective on a healthy home while also sharing the gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Self sufficiency will empower moms and give them confidence to succeed.

Together We Can!
