Ika Family

We invite you to join us for the 6th year of Gracey's Harvest of Hope 501(c)(3) as we support the Ika Family. 

The Ika family lost their father last year.  It has been a devastating loss for all seven children, ages 19, 17, 16, 15,12,11 and 7. It has been a struggle both financially and emotionally.  Asa, the 15 year old son, asked his friend Tonu Samani if he could  return from California with the Samani family and live with them.  

The Samani's having 10 children of their own (9 living at home) welcomed Asa with open arms. Soon the rest of the Ika family followed and the Samani's again welcomed each and every one of the them. There are now 16 children living in the house together.   

The High school aged children all attend East High School and Asa and Tonu are on the football team together.  The kids would love to be able to go to college, however the oldest kids have to work to support the family.  

Please help us ease some of their financial burdens and achieve their dreams of attending college by joining us on September 29th.
