Feel Good Friday! It is hard to believe that it has been a decade this week since we put the final touches on this incredible playground. This tremendous gift was given in memory of Patricia Bland, by her loving husband Jack, and built by many volunteers from their church and many other friends of Youth Haven. Over the last 10 years, thousands of children have run, laughed, climbed, and made unforgettable memories here. What started as a construction project became a sanctuary of pure joy—a place where kids could just be kids. We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who helped build, fund, and support this dream. Here’s to many more years of laughter and play at Youth Haven!
