Our Story:
A Vision Rooted in Love

What began as one woman’s heartfelt dream has grown into a safe haven for dozens of children who once had no place to call home.

In 1999, Adonna Cullumber stepped out in faith to follow a calling she had carried her entire life—a deep compassion for children in need, especially those in Mexico. That same year, Casa Esperanza para Niños opened its doors in Hermosillo, Mexico, welcoming seven children into a house filled with love, safety, and the hope of a better future.

As the Casa family grew, so did the vision. In 2009, with the help of generous supporters, Casa moved to a 3.5-acre ranch just outside Hermosillo’s city limits. Today, the ranch includes four homes and a vibrant recreation center—complete with a computer lab, dining space, and play areas. Over 45 children now call Casa Esperanza home.

Our Core Values

  • We are committed to creating a true home environment—one that provides consistent safety, structure, and emotional security. Our homes offer more than shelter; they are places of peace and predictability, where children can begin to heal and flourish knowing they are protected and cared for.

  • We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to pursue excellence. By providing access to quality education, life skills training, and personal mentorship, we equip our children for a bright future beyond Casa—empowering them to reach their full God-given potential.

  • At Casa Esperanza para Niños, everything we do is rooted in our faith. We believe in demonstrating God's love through compassionate care, intentional service, and daily actions that reflect His grace. Each child is seen, valued, and nurtured as a beloved creation, receiving spiritual guidance and love in a home where Christ is at the center.

  • Children thrive when they are surrounded by love and belonging. That’s why we focus on raising children within a family-style setting, supported by a strong, faith-driven community. Through shared meals, daily routines, and healthy relationships, we foster lifelong bonds and a sense of belonging.

  • No story is beyond redemption. At Casa, we stand as a beacon of hope for children who have endured trauma, abandonment, or abuse. Through healing relationships, faith, and unconditional love, we help restore hearts and rebuild lives—one child at a time.

A Mission You Can Be Part Of

  • At Casa, we believe in being the hands and feet of Jesus—loving the poor, feeding the hungry, and caring for the orphaned and vulnerable. Every child here has a story of resilience, and every supporter becomes a chapter in that story.

  • Whether it’s providing meals, school supplies, counseling, or simply a safe place to sleep, your support helps meet urgent physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. When you give, serve, or pray with us, you’re not just making a donation—you’re becoming part of a mission that changes lives for eternity.

  • We are passionate about raising children to know they are loved, chosen, and called. And we invite you to stand with us—as we grow, as we serve, and as we build a brighter future together.
