♥️A story from one of our open homes:

Recently, we welcomed an 11-year-old girl into our home. She was kind, talkative, and incredibly independent. She was also missing part of her arm below the elbow.

What amazed us was how much she loved building Legos. One of our staff members grabbed a few sets without thinking much about it and brought them to her. When she finished, she proudly showed the completed set—and the little Lego character had red hair just like hers and was missing an arm below the elbow too. That set was meant for her.

Moments like this happen more often in our home than we can explain—times when it feels like we already have exactly what a child needs before they even walk through our door. And that is not because of us. It is because of an incredible community that makes sure we are able to care for these kids in such meaningful ways

A story from an open home ❤️

He was 13. It had been a long week for him.

He came into our home kind and respectful, but playing the "tough guy." Like he had been carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders for far too long. He kept to himself, offering short answers and avoiding much conversation.

As the evening went on, we found a small pack of football cards. It may not have looked like much to anyone else, but to him, it was everything in that moment.
His face softened.

He carefully opened the pack and began looking through the cards, talking about players, teams, and games he had watched. Before long, he was sharing stories and striking up conversations about something he genuinely loved. For the first time that day, he was simply being a 13-year-old boy who loved football.

Tucked inside the cards was a note from the person that donated those cards. A simple message reminding a child that they are seen, valued, and not alone.

As he was preparing for bed that night, he held onto that note and those cards a little tighter, and said something none of us will forget: ""I don't know who Tim is, but I am glad he thought of kids like me.""

At Isaiah 117 House, reducing trauma doesn't always begin with grand gestures. Sometimes it begins with a pack of football cards. Sometimes it begins with a conversation about a favorite team. Sometimes it begins with a child realizing that complete strangers care enough to think about them.

Because on one of the hardest days of a child's life, being reminded that they are not alone can change everything.❤️

🏡 Make this House a Home Challenge 🏡

⭐️ Today’s Spotlight: The Coffee Station for our Volunteers

☕️A cup of coffee may seem like a small thing, but at Isaiah 117 House, it’s one way we can care for the people who pour so much of themselves into caring for others.

Our volunteers give their time, energy, and hearts to help make this house a safe, welcoming place for children entering foster care. Whether they’re serving children, helping with daily tasks, organizing donations, or simply being a familiar and comforting presence, we want our volunteers to feel cared for, too. 🫶🏼

☕️ Our coffee station will give volunteers a place to grab a cup of coffee, take a quick breath, and recharge while serving. It’s a simple reminder that the people who care for others deserve to be cared for, too.
Help us make this house feel like home—not just for the children who walk through our doors, but for the incredible volunteers who make our mission possible. 🏡❤️
