Review for Shiloh Christian Childrens Ranch Inc, Shelbina, MO, USA
My sister has been a houseparent at Shiloh for almost 20 years now. She has been a loving mother to over 40 kids, many of whom have gone on now to have kids of their own that she considers her grandkids. I've watched kids come into her house who were suicidal, ones who were abused, and ones who were refugees from other countries. Each one is shown the love of Christ, love most of them haven't had in their lives. They are given the limits and discipline that all kids need, and taught respect themselves and respect others.
Financially, the group are very good stewards of the investment you make in the kids. The needs of the kids are well taken care of, but the houseparents also budget for some treats as well to make sure that the kids build special memories of family life while they are there. It takes some skilled budgeting sometimes, but the smiles are well worth it.
