Where We Need Your Help

DaystarMinistriespt.2-196.jpg

sliding scale

Daystar is committed to never turning a family away based on inability to pay. We offer a sliding scale for counseling fees to support struggling families - it's often a single parent, a hurting family trying to make ends meet, a parent facing job loss or the death of a spouse or an unexpected illness. We love being able to always say...We can take care of you.

operating expense

The cost of keeping Daystar going is much more than what we bring in from counseling fees alone. This monthly cost allows us to keep the house warm and cozy for everyone who walks through our doors. It allows us to support our growing family of dedicated counselors and staff who have a heart love kids and families. It allows us to keep our business running day in and day out.
