You can help create the apartment homes at Bimosedaa through your gift and action. It will take:
About $750,000 in private gifts allows Beacon to do all the work needed before construction begins: the planning, organizing, design and financing. It takes a “Seed” of $21,000 per home for Beacon to do all the work needed before construction begins, including the planning, organizing, design and financing. Contact Lisa to discuss making a gift.
