WE'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
| |
 Two more families move inWe're always excited for our partner families when they can finally move in to their new homes. It's especially moving when we know that -- thanks to the help of our volunteers and donors -- eight more children will be celebrating Christmas in their very own new home. One family celebrating by hanging their home-made Christmas wreath while they were still in the middle of moving in. And yes, there is still a little more landscaping work to do at Elk Road -- but that will wait until spring and then we will have another celebration! Meanwhile, as one thankful mother exclaimed, "This means more than a home for my children, this means stability."
