Meet the Jacoby family -

***

“For the first time, Henry has something that's completely his: his camp, his friends, his adventures.

Watching him share a room with other campers, climb the ropes course, ride boats, and simply be part of the group has been incredible. There were so many things he has done at camp that honestly surprised me. Every photo and every update showed me another way he was growing—socially, developmentally, and in confidence.

Jill’s House has become a gift for our entire family. Henry gets an adventure that's completely his own. [His brother] Walker gets precious one-on-one time with us. My husband and I have the chance to rest and reconnect. “

A little kindness can create a whole lot of color. 🌈💛

Recently, students from Bishop O’Connell High School assembled craft kits (4-5) for our Jill’s House kids. A few weeks later, those kits became some pretty joyful masterpieces (1-3)!

Double the fun, double the joy. ✂️🎨

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Some moments at Jill’s House are impossible to capture in a single photo.

So here’s three.

And even then, they still can’t capture all the joy. 💙

Meet the Andrew Family -

“One of our favorite possessions sits in a four-inch binder on our living room couch. Inside are years of Jill’s House “My Stay” summaries—one from nearly every visit Chris has ever made. The binder began as a simple folder, but it has grown along with his memories. Today, he flips through those pages constantly, reading about adventures with friends, favorite staff members, funny things that happened, and all the people who were “blessed to care for him.” Those reports aren’t just records of his visits—they’re reminders that he is known and truly and deeply loved.

Chris has always loved people. At Jill’s House, he found his people. Whether it’s laughing about an inside joke with a staff member, remembering everyone’s birthday, talking about lip-syncing songs at Blue Ridge Camp, or simply spending time with peers who understand him, his confidence has blossomed because he finally has a place where he belongs. When he’s anxious or struggling to regulate his emotions, he often sits down with that binder and relives his favorite Jill’s House memories. It helps him find peace again.”
