FROM THE HEART

2004 in review

We're delighted to report how God is using the Home School Foundation in the homeschool community. Widows are being given help and hope, children with special learning needs are receiving timely assistance, needy families are receiving gifts that encourage their hearts, college students are receiving grants to pursue their dreams, and single moms are being empowered to stay the course.

You, our homeschooling friends, are the financial benefactors meeting these needs, as well as the proper recipients of the manifold expressions of gratitude we receive. So we want to provide you with an overview of the work you've been able to accomplish in the last year. Below is a summary of your gifts and how they've been invested in the lives of your fellow home educators.*

Of course, these numbers only tell a part of the story. The real costs are the sacrifices families have made to give to others. The real investments are in heaven and in the lives of those who now give glory to God for His faithfulness in caring for them.

A complete, audited financial statement is available by writing to: The Home School Foundation, Attn: Annual Reports, P.O. Box 1152, Purcellville, VA 20134. Please include $5 for printing and postage. The foundation's books are audited annually.
