Boyds donate $100K for children in Uganda

Detroit — There was a spark experienced early in their lives, at differing times, one that followed them to Oregon State, and then to Detroit and Comerica Park..

It was a desire to help the most vulnerable of children, in this case girls from Uganda who were subjected to the global evil known as sex trafficking.

Matthew and Ashley Boyd have channeled their passion and $100,000 of their own money into a non-profit effort: Kingdom Home, where 36 "of our children" now reside, and where the Boyds will be visiting in November as they seek to broaden their presence and support, including hunting for land that might allow more homes and a sustainable farm.
