Planned Giving
“As a donor, I want to do more for homeless youth and make a long-term contribution. Including them
in my will is a concrete way of sending unconditional acceptance and love to those who have been dealt
a hard blow in life. Helping high-risk youth today means putting them on a path to a better tomorrow.”
— Marielle Trempe (1942–2021), faithful donor
