MAMA JANE’S ORPHANAGE

Mama Jane’s has been in operation since 2005. Mama Jane currently cares for over 50 orphans without support from the government. She covers the entire cost to care for these children.

For the past five years we have supported this very special place.  Unlike other orphanages, Mama Jane believes these are her children and she refuses to “age” them out when they turn 16.  Instead, she provides housing, education, and opportunities so these children can succeed.

From 2018-2022 we built or funded Wyatt’s Garden, Hayden’s Playground, Scott’s Courtyard, Sara’s Kitchen, Susanne’s Salon, Helen’s Closet, Micah’s Chicken Coop, Pop’s Pantry, Butler’s Bunkhouse, Connor’s Classroom, Mike Squared Sports, Beau’s Nursery, Eileen’s Sewing Coop, and Healy Field. We provided music equipment, clothing and funds for food. We purchased “The Jimmy” which is a transportation vehicle (scooter/truck).

In 2023, we dedicated Poppy’s Place, housing for older boys in memory of Scott’s grandfather, James Hock Sr.   We also dedicated Butler’s Bunkhouse II, in memory of friend Mark Butler.  Butler’s Bunkhouse II provides housing for the older girls living and working at Mama Jane’s.   We did a complete renovation of the dorm rooms for the younger girls – La Casa de Sofia Carmelina.  It was dedicated in memory of Sofia Carmelina and the girls received new beds and bedding as well. 

We completely renovated Hayden’s Playground complete with a trampoline and mural. We provided funding to restock Pop’s Pantry. We increased the concrete block fencing 3 blocks higher for additional security. We provided new furniture for the living areas (sofas, tables and chairs). We provided 50 desks for Connor’s Classroom. We purchased 10 additional toy boxes, craft and sewing supplies, toys, clothing, seeds for Wyatt’s Garden and supplies for Susanne’s Salon.
