Update on our heat-
When our licensed gas tech showed up this week to finally re-pipe our charity’s gas line, the neighbor told us to leave, said the plumber couldn’t stand on the ground next to our own meter.
I didn’t believe that could be true… but it is. So for now, there’s no clear way to reconnect gas or get heat to our charity.
But here’s what is clear: we’re not going anywhere.
We’ll keep showing up, doing what we’ve always done. Serve nursing home seniors. We are so much more than a building.
It’s going to get cold next week and our lights will still be on. We’ll be there working for seniors. It’s our busiest time of year.
If you pray, please pray. If you’re watching this unfold, I hope you see our unwavering commitment to our mission. Many would shut their doors at this point. We will not.
It’s not the time for me to get loud. It is the time to persevere.
And that’s exactly what we’ll do.

Congratulations to our office manager Rebeka Rhoades for earning the “Bolting Award”🌿🌸💚

In gardening, “bolting” happens when a plant quickly grows tall and sends up a flower stalk — it’s a visible burst of energy and transformation.

This award is given to staff who show exceptional growth, initiative, and brilliance — rising tall and blooming brightly in their role.

Rebeka, our incredible office manager, is a force! When there is a new task at hand, Rebeka quickly rises to the occasion and figures it out! She is the backbone of our office, a leader, and one whom we all love and could not live without!

We love you Rebeka and are so thankful for you!!! 🌼🌿🌸

Did you know that U.S. Farmers are 2.5x more likely to commit su***de than veterans and 3.5x more likely than the general public ?

Farmers carry not only the heavy weight of providing for their families, but also the generational duty of protecting the land and legacy passed down to them. When the money runs out and the farm is lost, it’s not just a piece of property that’s gone—it’s a lifetime of dreams, identity, and purpose. The grief, shame, and sense of failure that come with that kind of loss have become too much for many to bear, leading some to end their own lives.

💔🙏
