A simple way to help 57 children and 10 caregivers move from month-to-month crisis toward a more stable circle of care.
Wonders Orphan Sanctuary is currently supporting 57 children and 10 caregivers in Iganga, Uganda.
Right now, the first $500 helps protect July’s emergency food and rent floor.
That is the immediate need. But the deeper hope is not to keep meeting the same crisis over and over. It is to begin building a steadier circle of support around this care community.
One-time gifts help protect the next few months. Monthly supporters help build the recurring base that can keep the same crisis from returning every month.
That is why we are beginning here:
- Immediate floor: help protect July’s emergency food and rent floor
- Current bridge goal: raise $3,000 to help create a 3-month bridge for July, August, and September
- Recurring milestone: gather 100 people giving $5/month
No one person has to carry this alone. But many people each carrying a small piece can help create the first dependable floor of care. And if that circle begins to form, it will not only help these children and caregivers materially — it will also remind them that they are not facing this alone.
From emergency floor to 3-month bridge
- The first $500 helps protect July’s emergency food and rent floor.
- The first $1,500 helps cover that same emergency floor across July, August, and September.
- The full $3,000 bridge gives those three months more room to breathe while the first monthly support circle is still being built.
This does not mean everything becomes stable at once. It means the community has more protection, more breathing room, and more time to build the recurring base beneath it.
This is not a separate long-term campaign. It is the current one-time bridge while monthly support is still being gathered.

The first 100
The first recurring milestone is simple:
100 people × a minimum of $5/month = $500/month.
That creates the first recurring stability floor for basic food and rent.
It does not solve everything. But it changes something essential. It helps protect the most basic monthly support from having to be raised again from zero every month.
And there is something beautiful in that, too: not one person carrying everything, but many people carrying one small piece together.

About the current monthly target
The current $500/month goal is the immediate emergency support target we are trying to sustain right now.
It is meant to help cover the most urgent food and rent pressure. It should not be read as the full monthly cost of care.
As we continue confirming local prices and costs more carefully, we are building a clearer cost map so the difference between emergency support and fuller minimum needs becomes more visible.
Why $5/month?
For many people, a minimum of $5/month is small enough to be possible.
When that same small commitment is shared by many people, it becomes meaningful.
The point is not pressure. The point is consistency. A small amount, repeated monthly across a wider circle, can become a real foundation for shelter, food, and daily care.
It can also become something more human than a transaction: a way for many people to help hold a real community through a difficult stretch and toward something more stable.
The 5-level ladder at a glance
We are beginning with Level 1. The fuller 5-level ladder is explained on the Stability Plan page.
Each level has two linked goals:
- Goal A is the one-time target that helps make that level possible.
- Goal B is the recurring monthly-support threshold that helps make that same level stable.
This is not five separate campaigns. It is one unfolding path from emergency support toward stronger stability.
- Level 1 — $500: emergency survival base for basic food and rent. This is the current hold-the-line floor, not the full monthly cost of care.
- Level 2 — $1,000: first decompression layer. A first real step beyond pure emergency containment, with less severe overcrowding and more dependable food continuity.
- Level 3 — $1,500: transitional stabilization. Stronger daily care, more breathable shelter conditions, and a more dependable food floor.
- Level 4 — $2,500: operational stabilization. A major shift toward workable daily continuity, with stronger food support, less crowding, and the beginning of caregiver support.
- Level 5 — $5,000: stable basic care floor. A stronger foundation for shelter, food continuity, caregiver support, and modest breathing room.

Founding Circle / Questions
Not everyone will be ready to begin monthly support right away.
Some people may want to ask a question first, or register a conditional yes while trust grows.
That is what this lighter-entry path is for.
Some people may not be ready to give monthly yet, but may still have something meaningful to offer: a question, a useful skill, a practical idea, a thoughtful connection, or another form of support that could strengthen the path.
The Stability Circle is not only about money. It is also about gathering a more human circle of care, attention, ideas, skills, and practical support around one real community.
Use the short form below if you would like to ask a question, register a conditional yes, or stay connected while trust grows.
Questions are welcome.
We will keep sharing clearer updates and documentation as the work grows.
The goal is not blind trust. The goal is careful support, honest questions, and practical care. And wherever possible, we want this work to feel not only responsible, but genuinely human.
Ask a question, register a conditional yes, or stay connected.
