LWML Mite Challenge - July
2025–2027 MISSION GRANT NO. 8
BUILDING A PLACE OF CARE
DAKOTA BOYS AND GIRLS RANCH | $60,000

Creating a Healing Space
The Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch in Minot, North Dakota, serves children, ages 10–18, who experience severe psychiatric, emotional, behavioral, and/ or developmental challenges due to the trauma of abuse, neglect, addiction, violence, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. With the money from this grant the Ranch will build and furnish the Reflection Room which will serve as a safe and calming environment to support the emotional, spiritual, and psychological well-being of the children and the staff. The doorway to Gospelcentered healing for a child begins with an environment that communicates love while consistently meeting their most basic needs for safety and shelter.

The Reflection Room will provide space within Zurcher Cottage, a psychiatric residential treatment facility on the Minot campus. Here the children and staff will have a place to pray, meditate, find solace, and spend time in thoughtful reflection. This all aligns with the Ranch’s commitment to trauma-informed care and holistic Christ-centered wellness for the children.
