Cause Champions: Orphan Prevention — Trailer
The Signatry is featuring a local community who champions orphan prevention through their family, through their church, and through their businesses. Our Cause Champion series with CarePortal unpacks the passion behind these families’ generosity and shares with others what it may take to make an impact on the causes they love. There are several hundred thousand vulnerable children who are in foster care or on the brink of entering the foster system that need our support. CarePortal and their connected partners work to remedy the needs of these kids, reverse their track toward homelessness, trafficking, or incarceration, and serve them with the joy of Christ through the local church. The Mitchell and Murphy families in Cause Champions: Orphan Prevention are a great example of what it looks like to be generous cause champions toward the vulnerable children in the United States.
Episode 1: Supporting Local CarePortal Needs: The Murphy Family
Jeff and Michelle Murphy set out to solve a problem. After learning about the orphan crisis in Haiti, they realized the same problems exist in their own backyard in the U.S. The Murphy’s desire to preserve families led them to CarePortal, an organization that uses technology to connect local churches with immediate, solvable needs in their own neighborhoods. Jeff and Michelle champion CarePortal with their time, talents, and treasure, and their generosity led their daughter to get involved, too.
