A story from an open home ❤️

A sweet 5 year old girl arrived at the Isaiah 117 House carrying two oversized bunny stuffies named Bubblegum and Rainbow. In the middle of so much change, uncertainty, and transition, those bunnies stayed close by her side.

When she left for a kinship placement, the bunnies were accidentally left behind. But instead of simply mailing them to her, one of our staff members went above and beyond, giving Bubblegum and Rainbow one last adventure.

The bunnies went on many adventures around the house, their journey captured with a Polaroid. Along with the photos, our staff member also wrote a note to our girl, letting her know her bunnies missed her very much and couldn’t wait to see her again. It took some time for everything to come together, and by the time it shipped, it had been about a week. But as we know, God’s timing is perfect.

After traveling all the way to their new home through the mail, Bubblegum and Rainbow arrived and wouldn't you know... God scheduled their very special arrival on the day of our girl’s birthday!! Her sweet caregiver later called us to share that she was absolutely overjoyed.

Moments like these remind us that caring for children goes far beyond meeting physical needs. Sometimes it also looks like protecting the small, meaningful pieces of childhood that matter so deeply during seasons of transition and change. What a beautiful gift.

🍋 One cup at a time. ❤️

Every summer, communities across the country join together for Isaiah 117 House Lemonade Stand Weekend to raise awareness and support for children entering foster care.

What starts as a simple lemonade stand becomes something much bigger — neighbors gathering, kids serving with purpose, businesses giving back, and communities rallying around vulnerable children and families.

This year’s Lemonade Stand Weekend is July 17–19, and we would love for YOU to be part of it! Whether you host a stand with your family, neighborhood, church, business, summer camp, or friends, every cup helps us continue changing the way foster care begins in our community.

Ready to join the challenge? 🍋

We have televisions now! 📺📺
Thank you to New Union Baptist Church's Golden Rule Sunday School Class and Gina Presto for the donations of two tvs. On hard days sometimes all you want to do is cozy up on the couch and watch a movie. Now our kids can do this! We appreciate your kindness!
