Who We Are.
We are Terry & Veronicah Richards, current residents of a small town in mid-central Illinois. Several years ago, we were brought together under the most unlikely of circumstances. Veronicah was living and working in her native country of Kenya and she met Terry at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the very last day of his mission trip to Kenya in 2005 when his van broke down. Our almost immediate connection grew into a relationship and then marriage in 2008. In 2017 our beautiful daughter Sophia was born. But, we soon learned that God had more in store for us than just our family.
We believe we have been called to bring our dream to life and that is the purpose of the vision we share with each other. We also believe we are not meant to do it alone and we reach out to invite you to share our vision as well. These women and children do not need a handout; rather, together we can provide a most powerful hand to help them up. We ask that you consider how you can work through us and with us to deliver care, hope, and joy to women and children who are so very deserving.
Whether you join us in prayer, preparation for our move to Kenya, or financial support for the development of the Imani Rescue Center, we humbly thank you.
