Aerial Recovery conducted its second mission trip to Honduras, bringing together Heroes, AHT Task Force Members, Volunteers and G-FORCE Members to serve the children and staff living in the facility. 

On our first mission trip in July 2024, we identified this facility as a space where children who were abandoned by their families and the community were receiving lots of love but very few resources otherwise. Two G-FORCE members on that trip decided to step up and commit to funding the enhancement of this facility and its programming in partnership with Aerial Recovery. We are so excited about our first Care Project initiative in partnership with the Hill family and look forward to planning more mission trips and bringing even more resources and programs to these children who deserve the world. 

On our January 2025 mission trip, Aerial Recovery hosted a launch party announcing its official adoption of Amor Y Vida as our first Care Project: a home for children with HIV/AIDS.

Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the home’s needs, from inventorying supplies to identifying necessary repairs, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for these incredible children to thrive. The trip included therapeutic activities for the children, emergency repairs around the facility, individual health assessments of each child, and the purchase of much-needed equipment and supplies for the children’s ongoing needs. Beyond these critical logistics, the trip was filled with laughter and learning. Our volunteers shared smiles with the children while playing games, taught hair-styling skills, and crafted intention bracelets together, building bonds that will last for a lifetime.

Care Projects like this are crucial for the rehabilitation of those rescued from human trafficking and abuse, providing the stability and support necessary for survivors to rebuild their lives. These incredible children require more than just medical care—they need a safe and encouraging environment where they can heal, grow, and thrive.

Currently, we are conducting a full renovation of this Care Project. If you’re interested in contributing donations, resources or volunteer efforts, please see the donate, give resources or serve with us forms above. 

Together, we can give these children the chance for a brighter, healthier future and wrap our arms around this special place and its beautiful mission.

There is a beautiful season of hope in Canoa, Ecuador. Aerial Recovery’s Refugio de los Niños de Canoa has helped eliminate trafficking in the area and serves nourishing meals daily to 350 children – a powerful step forward in our mission to protect children and strengthen communities.

This journey began with our urgent rescue missions in Ukraine, where we uncovered the harrowing reality of traffickers preying on vulnerable families. Desperation, born from both natural and man-made disasters, can lead to devastating choices—choices no family should ever have to make.

Before this location was a safe haven for children, many families were malnourished, and unfortunately, the exploitation of the children was how many families were able to eat.

We understand that when communities struggle, predators seek to exploit their hardships. That’s why we are committed to breaking this cycle and creating safe spaces where children can grow, play, and thrive.

Thanks to the efforts of Tim Ballard and his dedicated team at the time, we were able to dismantle a horrific trafficking network and replace fear with hope. Today, Aerial’s Refugio de Los Niños de Canoa provides meals for children every weekday and serves as a refuge of safety for those in need.

In partnership with Fundacion Liga Pro, we are thrilled to unveil a brand-new soccer field in the heart of Canoa—a vibrant space that represents hope, healing, and a brighter future. A heartfelt thank you to soccer legend Hristo Stoichkov for his generous donation of golden soccer balls, reminding every child that they are valued and worthy of joy.

This is more than a soccer field—it’s a promise of protection, opportunity, and a future free from exploitation. Let’s continue this important work, standing together in resilience and love.

We are currently looking for donors to partner with us to cover the cost of this Children’s Centre Programming. If you or someone you know is interested in partnering with us, please send us an email to Comms@AerialRecovery.org.
