Sometimes, a safe place looks like waffles and chocolate milk. 🧇🥛❤️
A late night, a sibling set arrived needing a place to rest. One of our amazing volunteers, Angela, got the house ready and greeted them when they arrived.
Soon we learned; they needed shoes. Clothes. Backpacks for school. Diapers and wipes. They needed a place to play, use their imaginations by bringing a video game to life (involved tomatoes from our garden 😂🫶🏾) and a place where they didn’t have to worry about if or when they would eat again.
So the morning started simply: waffles and chocolate milk for each child. 🧇🤎
At The Cooper House, we believe these seemingly small moments matter. A warm breakfast. A clean change of clothes. A backpack for school. A safe place to sleep. A chance to laugh and play. These things remind children that they are seen, heard, chosen and loved by us and their Heavenly Father!
And we are so grateful for our caseworkers. They carry so much as they care for children and families in crisis. We are especially thankful that they worked hard to find a placement where these siblings could stay together and not be separated.🫶🏼
This is what emergency removal support can look like.
A safe place to rest.
A full belly.
A little bit of normal.
And the reminder that they are not alone.
Thank you to every prayer partner, church partner, business partner, sponsor, monthly donors, volunteers, one time donors >>>> YOU are part of helping children feel safe, loved, and cared for in the middle of an incredibly hard night. ❤️
