How the money is spent

Giving children a chance. You make it possible.

It takes roughly $12,000 a year to raise a child at Big Oak Ranch. That’s $1,000 a month to provide the basics of food, clothing, housing and education. The Big 12 Club is a special group of donors who commit to $12,000 a year to ensure that our children have the essentials they need. But more than the essentials of food and shelter—the Big 12 Club makes possible the impossible; they make the unimaginable real.

Like other families, we continue to support our children after they move on to college or other continuing education. The Big 12 Club ensures that we have the resources to cover housing and health care, books and fees, and all of the other costs that come with completing a child’s education.

Donate to Big Oak Ranch

Big Oak Ranch is a Christian home for children needing a chance. The children live in as normal a setting as we can possibly create. As many as eight children live in each of the Ranch's comfortable, two-story brick homes with a dedicated, Christian couple serving as mom and dad.
