Heartbreak to Hope

In early 2022, a young mother with a heavy but courageous heart arrived at our door in desperation. She had done all she could, but could no longer provide the food, shelter, and stability her children needed to survive.

She knew that at the BOL Home, Simona and Florin would be loved, clothed, fed, and educated.


Family situations like this are never easy. Looking into Simona’s eyes that day, you could see the pain and loss she carried. Leaving home at such a young age, adjusting to new routines, and learning to trust again requires time, patience, and consistency.

Today, when you interact with Simona, you notice the brightness in her eyes and the joy that now defines her spirit. She is learning, growing, and laughing. In short, she is thriving.



Stories of transformation like Simona’s do not happen by chance. ey happen because of you. Because of your faithful support, stories like Simona’s, heartbreak to hope, are possible every day.

We look ahead to 2026, anticipating what God has planned. But we also pause to give thanks for the many miracles God accomplished through your partnership in 2025.


Rejoice with us for 2025—and pray with us for 2026—as we step forward in faith, trusting God for another year of abundant kingdom work.

The Priceless Impact of Sponsorship

By Debora Brown Volunteer Sponsorship Director • February 2, 2026
Sponsorship at the Bread of Life Home is more than financial support—it is an act of faith that changes lives on both sides of the relationship. When sponsors step forward to pray for, mentor, and invest in a child, they become part of a story of hope, healing, and belonging.

BOL Prayer Calendar 2026

By BOL Team • November 17, 2025
“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Prayer changes things—because prayer moves the heart of God. As we step into 2026, we invite you to join us in praying for Bread of Life—the precious children God has placed in our care and the faithful staff who serve them. Every prayer lifted becomes part of His loving work of transformation. Together, we trust Him for healing, provision, and renewed hope as each child grows in His grace. Our 2026 Prayer Calendar is thoughtfully designed to sit on your desk in a triangular format, keeping prayer close at hand. One side displays the calendar, with the children and staff birthdays clearly circled as a gentle reminder to pause and pray for them on those special days. The inside of the triangle and the bottom portion of the calendar feature photos of the children and staff, putting faces to the prayers you offer as you lift each one before the Lord by name. As you see the calendar each day, we invite you to thank God for their lives and speak blessings over their futures. BOL Team
