Welcome!
We’re so glad you’re here. Thanks to generous hearts like yours, The Rudy Foundation is able to bring hope and a brighter quality of life to children both near and far.

Right now, our focus is Casa Hogar El Amor de Dios in Arequipa, Peru—a loving orphanage that is home to nearly 60 children, from newborns to 17-year-olds. For over 30 years, its founders, José and Gloria Ingalls, have dedicated their lives to caring for more than 3,500 children. Every ounce of their energy and resources goes directly into creating a safe and joyful home—providing three nourishing meals a day, education, Bible teaching, and the life skills these children need to thrive once they leave at age 18, as required by law.

While adoption is possible in Peru, the process is slow and complex. On average, only a handful of children find adoptive families each year, which means many remain at Casa Hogar until adulthood. Yet through it all, José and Gloria continue to open their doors and their hearts, giving each child dignity, love, and the tools to succeed.

We invite you to learn more and be part of this story. Visit our Upcoming Events page for details about our annual fall fundraiser—we’d love to have you join us in making a lasting difference.
