House Nehemiah
Why?
Why?
The name was inspired by the story of Nehemiah in the bible. A cupbearer to a Persian King, who felt a burden to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah was deeply moved when he heard that his people was suffering and could not help but to do something about it.
Much like Nehemiah, we saw a big need in our community to create a safe space for children that have been neglected and abused and felt a burden to do something about it.
