This month, we were able to support a 2-week-old baby boy while his mom, Julia, received urgent medical care. With her family far away, she had no local support. When the need was posted, several Volunteer Host Families stepped up, and one family nearby picked up the baby within an hour, allowing Julia to receive the care she needed. We’re grateful for our amazing Host Families who are always there in times of need. Thanks to them, Julia and her son were reunited when she was feeling much better 💚

Nixon has a huge heart to help others. Although he has found his forever family, he wants to make sure other kids in care have everything they need. After hearing about our services at his church, he came up to our table and asked what he could do!
He ended up posting videos on his mom’s social media asking people to give so he could provide fun summer activities for the boys in one of our Olive Crest homes. In the end, he collected $500 worth of activities!
We are so moved by his love for others and his tenacity to help. Thank you, Nixon! 💚
