Hi everyone! 🤍
I wanted to take a moment to celebrate 1 year of 2nd Home For All 🥹🫶🏼
Around this time last year, I started posting about 2nd Home and putting my name out there, not really knowing where it would lead. In March I began providing care for someone in our community. From there, I continued to show up, one day at a time. Over the year, our clientele grew, and I was able to bring on an incredible team to help support kids, adults, and families in the community.
After supporting 20+ people, running a summer camp, moving twice, and participating in the Bump, Baby Expo, I’m so proud to say, we did it. None of this would have been possible without my team, support system, and the families who put their trust in me. That trust means everything, and I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without you.❤️
This past year, a huge amount of my time and energy went into building 2nd Home For All, while also working and being in nursing school. It definitely hasn’t been easy. What made it all possible was my deep love for this work and my commitment to doing it well. Of course, we are still growing and navigating hiccups as they come, and I’m so grateful for the patience, understanding, and support as we continue to learn and evolve together.
2nd Home was created because I saw a gap. Families needed support that felt safe, consistent, and human. They needed people who would take the time to build real relationships, honour individuality, and meet people where they are, not where a system or society expects them to be. My goal has always been to create a space where people feel seen, valued, and genuinely cared for, and where families feel supported, understood, and not alone.
As we move forward, our goal remains the same: to serve our community with quality, intentional care, while growing slowly and thoughtfully in a way that protects that standard. The why behind this work matters, and ensuring the care we provide continues to feel like home is so important to us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. Cheers to year 2! 🥹🤍
