May is Foster Care Awareness Month 💛

This month, we’re honored to share what foster care truly looks like—through the real stories of the incredible families we get to work alongside every day. These are stories of resilience, compassion, hard moments, and life-changing love.

Meet Macey & Charlie Strait!

"When an emergency placement request came through for a sibling group of three, Macey and Charlie opened their home and hearts without hesitation. Already parenting a child of their own, they seamlessly welcomed the siblings into their family, creating a safe, stable, and happy environment where the children could begin to heal and feel secure.

Throughout the placement, Macey and Charlie remained incredibly engaged in communication with the team, consistently advocating for the children’s needs and well-being. They also demonstrated tremendous compassion and support for reunification efforts. Their flexibility, dedication, and commitment to providing a loving home during a time of uncertainty has made a lasting impact on these children and everyone involved in their care."

Thank you Macey and Charlie for your incredible compassion! ✨

✨THERAPIST SPOTLIGHT! ✨

Behind every therapist is a passion for helping others heal, grow, and feel seen.

Meet Denise Rightmier, one of our therapists! Today, we’re spotlighting Denise and the “why” that inspires her work each day. 💙

"Being a therapist is something I have always dreamed of since high school, I love helping people see that they are so much more than a diagnosis. I love being able to help people find the strength they always had to overcome their hurts, to be able to have that control to regulate their emotions. When I see clients go from feeling like they can barely function or believe they are nothing, to realizing they are everything, and they can live a full life. I feel so blessed to have been part of their healing."

Thank you for all that you do Denise!!

Happy ! Earlier this week, our Dudes & T.A.C.O.S. group got together for the May event at Paradise North Distillery. They had such a great evening of hearing from Kevin Hines about his journey with mental health, connecting with one another, and of course eating some delicious food. Huge thank you to all those who were able to make it!

May is Foster Care Awareness Month 💛

This month, we’re honored to share what foster care truly looks like—through the real stories of the incredible families we get to work alongside every day. These are stories of resilience, compassion, hard moments, and life-changing love.

Meet the Kulp Family!

"The members of our family are John, who goes by his middle name 'Weston', Rebecca (myself), and our sweet daughter, 6-year-old Lydia.

Weston and I have been married for nearly 15 years. Lydia was adopted into our family when a family friend reached out and asked, "Do you want a baby?". The process was obviously more complicated and lengthier than that, but that's how it all started.

I have always had an interest in becoming a foster parent or adoptive parent, for as long as I can remember. I am the eldest of six siblings, who I helped to raise in a variety of ways. My husband has an adopted sister and has always been a softie when it comes to anyone in need of help.

We are both also driven and inspired by our faith (James 1:27). With our combined hearts, we came to the conclusion that fostering or adopting was in our future.

We first reached out to Foundations because our biggest combined desire was to support sibling bonds during times when children have to be separated from their families. When we looked into fostering agencies and adoption agencies who supported that sibling bond, Foundations came up again and again.

We started the licensing process in October 2025 and became officially licensed at the start of January of this year. Our experience so far has been wonderful. The support we have received from our regional director, Laura, and our case manager, Morgan, has been clear and swift. We have had children at our home for respite twice, and we have had a placement of four siblings for just over a month now."

We are so grateful for you, Kulp family!! We feel so lucky to have the chance to share your story. 💛

We are so grateful for this incredible support🧡

Most people don’t realize that when a child enters foster care, they often arrive with very little.

May is Foster Care Awareness Month and we’re partnering with Foundations Health & Wholeness to help support children and foster families with the support they deserve.

Donations help provide:
School supplies
Hygiene essentials
Sports & extracurricular opportunities
Graduation & milestone support
Christmas assistance
Educational resources for foster parents

Every child deserves to feel supported, celebrated and cared for. 💛

Please help NestGlow Cleaning reach our donation goals and support Foundations in a big way this month. Whether you book a clean, donate, share this post or simply help spread awareness, it truly makes a difference!

Happy !

Some of our counseling team and participating clients had their last DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) group therapy session and celebrated with a food party! This group is a tabletop role-playing group that uses role-playing rather than just traditional therapy practices. They are on pause right now, with plans to re-open by fall and are very honored to see the growth in our members!
