Campaign Story
We want to create a space for the foster care children who will be welcomed into our home. A place that says, "You are more than welcomed here. You are loved. You are safe. Here you can dream. Here you can be free to just be." Our vision for this is way beyond our budget. From the very beginning of this adventure, we need others to come around this cause. We know we can not love these children well without the support of our family and friends. We want to invite you into this process. In a very real tangible way, by creating this space with us, many hands and hearts have gone into the welcome, the foundation of what we see before us.
The room right now is a guest room at best, a storage room at least. We envision bunk beds and bright colors. (See pictures) We want to give them a place to dream. New bedding that is warm and comforting. A dresser that opens smoothly with games, toys and books. Lights that shine, promising hope and happiness... Space communicates so much. We can possibly build the bunks and some of the things can be second hand if they are in good condition and work with the space...
Would you partner with us - in design, in building, in support, in prayer, with encouraging text messages, or a shared cup of coffee?

We did that for a while. Very hard but very rewarding. Thank you for being willing to do the hard thing.
Really? Wow!
Update posted by Sandra Hopkinson Maki at 06:30 pmSo... thank you! Really, I don't know what else to say. Ben and I are so amazed at how quickly and generously eveyone has responded. It is cool that we find ourselves fully funded - and beyond - in less then a week. If ever we doubt, if ever we. . . . .

I love it that you guys are following God's calling on your hearts to be a reflection of Christ, a father to the fatherless. I know while at times it will be tough you will be greatly blessed. We are praying for you and are so excited for you!
