Hope is a very powerful thing.

For residents at Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch, hope can mean the difference between successful treatment and giving up on life. Many of our residents have almost no one who believes in them. They are placed with us because they have no place to call home and no one who encourages them toward a happy and successful life. They need hope.

You can provide hope for our residents.

If you write a note of encouragement on the form below, we will give it to a resident from one of our three campuses. The notes are such an encouragement to our children—both in their treatment and in their walk with God. Your words and the time you took to write them down demonstrate the love of Christ to our precious children.

By writing a Hope Note, you will encourage a child who may feel alone or helpless.

To write an encouraging note for a child at the Ranch, please complete the form below.

Type your message here. We will print it out to share with one of our children.
