The Carpenter's House for Children

The Carpenter’s House in Leesburg, FL provides a safe refuge for children who come from orphanages in third-world countries, many of whom have experienced dismal poverty, near starvation or suffer from life-threatening medical conditions that cannot be adequately treated in their home country.

Adopting these children into their home — and their hearts — the Manfredis provide a foundation of values and responsibility, and a lifetime of love and support to the children of The Carpenter's House. Although raising up to 18 children under one roof presents challenges, the Manfredis consider themselves blessed to be able to help make a difference.

Supported solely by donations, The Carpenter's House operates on a very lean budget to provide food, shelter, clothes, medical care, school supplies and toys for the children in its care. Citing a "call from God" as their motivation, the Manfredis devoted their lives to providing hope to the hopeless, love to the forgotten and opportunity to the unfortunate. Although the couple has a seemingly unending supply of faith and determination to forge a good life for their children, they can't do it alone.
