Current Neighbor Project: The Mills Family Diaper Drive

Meet The Mills Family: Watch their story to see how your support can make a real difference in their lives.

Meet Amy and her family, including the adorable twins, Maggie and Zoe. In 2023, Amy and Craig's journey took a turn when they learned that the twins' mother was considering an abortion. With the support of the Sisters of Life and their local church, the Mills Family offered an open adoption, welcoming Maggie and Zoe into their family.

Now, as parents of twins, Amy and Craig face the challenges of caring for two babies, including the high cost of diapers. You can support them by donating diapers directly through Amazon or by making a financial contribution via CashApp or through a tax-deductible donation to Untether Life.

Let's come together to show our love and support for the Mills Family, making life a little easier as they care for their sweet twins.

Current Neighbor Project: Sandra’s House

Sandra stands in a kitchen next to her new oven and stove, with a thank you message and cooking utensils in the background.

A current Neighbor Project is completing a home for a woman name Sandra, in the town of Santa Catarina Bobadilla in Guatemala. Sandra’s family has suffered extremely hard times due to the pandemic and then in December, her husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. This has required the three older children to leave school and work hard to continue the work of finishing the house so they can move in. 2022’s rain season also has continued to displace the family to a room in a home with a family member, as their other building was condemned due to water damage. We are partnering with this family to see their house come to a place of completion by outfitting it with the necessary things that make a home a home such as: appliances, beds, lighting, and other needs.

Witness the progress of Sandra's family home and be a part of their journey. Watch the Neighbor Project video for Sandra's House now!

with our

Here we gather our words and our experiences. Each week the UL Blog features a different writer from different regions, cultures, and languages. Our blogs can be translated through user browsers and highlights stories and experiences of love in action. Our prayer is to inspire and encourage you to open yourself up to those around you to see where you can be the hands of Jesus and love your neighbor as yourself. 

  • We exist to gather local communities that create vehicles of change through project-focused social and philanthropic involvement.

  • People want to be a part of the solution without knowing how they can offer help and change. By creating community gatherings with people who have it within their hand to help others, we create a community who sees their neighbor’s needs and creates collaborative project-based initiatives to love and lift each other up.


    This solves an epidemic of loneliness creating belonging, purpose, and fulfillment.

  • We have become a people focused on our individual self; we often see issues and needs without taking action. Communities are hard to build, and more and more we don’t know the people living right next door. In turn, it’s becoming harder to connect with others which makes it hard to see the needs of the people around us.

  • We call it the “Hey Somebody” approach…many find themselves observing a situation that needs attention and think, “Somebody should do something.” We remind others through our community gatherings that the power of change is within their own hands. By empowering others to know they are “somebody” they can find a way to put action to the intention within their own neighborhoods.


    These groups are created by social and philanthropic based events and gatherings that create community and connecting those who can and will help.

  • Tubac Pterygium Surgery - Watch Video

    Another project is teaming with a local ophthalmologist to assist in helping Josefina and Augusto Tubac get the medical attention they need for their increasing Pterygium. Pterygium is a growth that starts on the clear tissue of the eye that can and has spread to the corneas on both eyes for the Tubacs. They will each receive two surgeries to repair both eyes.


    The Tubac’s live in a small village called Bolo de Oro, an hour and a half from Guatemala City.  They use their home to serve and attend to their village. With seven children they still opened their home to offer a homemade soup Josefina made twice a week to feed her neighbors during the hardest times of pandemic. They would line up twice a week to receive a meal for their family in a tough time and bring a few sticks of firewood to contribute. Guatemala has finally opened up from pandemic restrictions but they continue to open their home to host English classes, nutritional cooking classes, and many other community gatherings in her home in a desire to help elevate their neighbors.
