Our Projects & Fundraising:  Three Veterans who have served our Country now have homes of their own. Amya Catching was struck by a stray bullet at her 12th birthday party and was paralyzed from the waist down.  Her and her family now have an accessible new home, fully donated to them.  In the past six years, over 1000 Kentucky Military Families have experienced a Christmas they would not have had with the help of the "Operation Military Cheer" toy & clothing drive, in partnership with the KY National Guard.  Families in our community with special needs have received repairs and renovations on their homes to make them more accessible and easier to live in.  

The stories are many and the outcome is real..."Enriching Lives, One Project at a Time."

2018 "A Home for Amya" Project - Ribbon Cutting and Donor Appreciation Party
During the summer of 2017, Amya Catching was celebrating her 12th birthday party at friend's home when she was suddenly struck by a stray bullet during a drive-by shooting.  Paralyzed from the waste down, Amya needed a new home that would better suit her new needs.  BIA Cares, in partnership with very generous donors, built a brand new accessible home for Amya and her family. 

2017 BIA Cares Home for a Veteran
The 2017 BIA Cares Home for a Veteran was dedicated to the Heidemans, the selected Veteran family, on Thursday, September 28th.
