“Thank you” hardly seems enough to express the heartfelt gratitude I feel for everyone who showed up, participated, and supported Jaime’s Place’s Life in the Heartland Banquet!
First and foremost, all glory belongs to God. Without Him, we can do nothing.
So many people gave hours of their time to help the evening run smoothly. Donna McNair, Ashley Pernell, Erin Seastrom, Susan Perry, Rebecca Reilly, Dawn Edwards, and the many others who worked alongside these ladies—thank you for the care and hard work you poured into this evening!
To the Knights of Columbus—thanks to your helping hands, we were set up in record time this year!
Thank you to Mountain Life Church for once again providing a beautiful place to gather, and to The Den and everyone who helped prepare and serve our delicious dinner.
Our youth servers from Valley County Classical Conversations, CVB Church, Mountain Life Church - McCall, Mountain Valley Refuge, and Cascade Community Church—you did a fantastic job caring for our guests and keeping those water jars filled!
To everyone who took the stage: Jim, thank you for emceeing and guiding us through the evening. Karla Dimmett, thank you for sharing the story of how Jaime’s Place began. Pastor Richard, thank you for explaining Proposition 1 and why we must vote NO. Taylor, thank you for your courage in sharing your family’s story—even with a little distraction! 😊 And Robin Gerblick—wow! Thank you for your inspiring message and for helping us see the beauty of God’s grace.
To our board members, banquet committee, and every volunteer: you did it! Your time, effort, and love made this evening possible.
And to every person who attended, applauded, prayed, and donated—a heartfelt THANK YOU. Seeing so many people come together to support our mission of bringing healing, hope, and help to moms, dads, and families through God’s life-affirming truth was truly overwhelming. Your generosity helps us continue walking alongside the families who come through our doors.
My heart is full. All praise, honor, and glory to God!
