Our Heart felt expression

Gratitude & Faith

House of Amazing Grace is a heartfelt expression of gratitude and faith toward God by its founder, Loreta Alfonso. At the tender age of four, Loreta experienced a near-death encounter due to a severe illness. During that time, she lived in poverty.
Reflecting on her life, Loreta attributes her survival and journey to God’s unmerited love (grace) and compassion. In Loreta’s words:

“Had it not of God’s unmerited love (grace) and his compassion (mercy), I wouldn’t be here today to testify to God’s goodness”.

Through the initiative and passion of Loreta V. Alfonso and Antonio Fernando M. Alfonso, a Canadian Filipino citizen, to serve disadvantaged children, the institution was established on August 29, 2023. It was officially registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Registration No. CN-20230880114111-14) on the same date and subsequently registered and licensed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office IV-A on January 25, 2024.

In 2024, we provided care for seven (7) children—five (5) males and two (2) females—ranging from 0 to 6 years old. These orphans, abandoned, neglected, or surrendered children received holistic support through our intervention programs.

Throughout the year, four (4) children were successfully reintegrated or transferred:

July 8, 2024 – Two (2) children (aged 7 and 13) were relocated to specialized facilities suited for their age group.

One (1) child was transferred to a child placement agency to facilitate the adoption process.

Comprehensive aftercare services, including six months of monitoring, were conducted to ensure the children's well-being. One (1) child completed this process successfully, leading to case closure.

A child’s story

This child, barely taking their first steps, was abandoned in a mud house. Their journey from those desperate, mud-covered moments to our House, included a few months in hospitals. walking when they were abandoned in a mud house. At our House, this once-starving child remembered how to laugh and gained their health. They even began to learn English, greeting every visitor with a warm ”hello” and sending them off with a cheerful ”see you later”.
