A story from an open home Carter-Johnson-Unicoi Home ❤🏠

When our teen guest walked through the red door, she quietly made her way to the couch and barely said a word. She was still, guarded—her eyes low, her voice silent. After a few minutes of letting her settle in, our volunteers, workers, and caseworkers gently began talking with her, asking questions to learn more about who she was and what she liked.

But the more we tried, the more anxious she seemed. Her hands fidgeted, her legs bounced, and she avoided eye contact. It was clear that this space—though safe—was still new, and the weight of all she’d been through hung heavy in her presence.

The next morning, something changed. Quietly and hesitantly, she asked, “Do you have... or would it be okay if I had a Spanish text Bible?”

“Absolutely,” we told her. And in that simple request, we saw a glimpse of who she was—a piece of her story, her identity, her heart.

We also found out her favorite color was pink. So one of our workers made it a mission that day to find exactly what she asked for: a pink Bible written in Spanish. At the store, they even had the option to personalize it with her name—and we knew we had to do it.

When the worker returned and handed her the Bible, her face lit up. She smiled the biggest, brightest smile we’d seen since she walked through our doors. From that moment on, she carried it with her everywhere—reading it throughout the day, holding it close like a treasure that belonged to her and her alone.

It wasn’t a flashy gift or a grand gesture. It was a pink Bible, in her language, with her name on the cover. But to her, it was comfort. It was belonging. It was love.

This is how we change the way foster care begins—by listening, by seeing, by responding with intentional love. And sometimes, that love looks like a Bible in a favorite color, with a name etched in gold, reminding one child that she is known and never alone.

A story from one of our open homes...

"The morning after our sibling set of 7 arrived, I reached out to my friend who is the manager of Dunkin Donuts AND who just became a foster/adoptive dad. He was totally on board to help however he could and asked what kind of donuts I needed. I told him it was for a house full of girls, so we had to do pink sprinkle donuts for them to wake up to.

When I arrived, he told me that the week prior he was on spring break and did not make the order for stock, but his assistant did, and she overstocked the pink sprinkle donuts. He was contemplating what to do with the excess and was resorting, in his mind, to throw them away, because no one was going to need that many. He was so moved by my simple request for the donuts that morning, knowing that God had orchestrated the whole thing so the pink sprinkle donuts would be waiting for the girls in the house. Even in the smallest of ways, like pink sprinkle donuts, God is always going before our kiddos!"

Deciding to sell your home is a big step, but knowing what to disclose to prospective buyers is crucial for a transparent and lawful transaction. Here’s what you should consider:

- Material Defects: Major issues like plumbing problems or a leaky roof can't be hidden and must be disclosed.
- Renovations and Repairs: Whether it's a new kitchen or a patched-up basement, keep records and disclose all past work.
- Legal Disclosures: Requirements vary by state but typically include lead-based paint for homes built before 1978 and potential natural hazards.
- Why Disclose?: Being upfront not only builds trust with buyers but also protects you from future legal complications.

A story from one of our open homes...

“Take our picture in front of the fridge! We’ve never seen so much food before!”

Sometimes we take for granted the simple things in life like a stocked refrigerator. These teens knew what a blessing this was!! Lavish love is keeping it full so they don’t have to worry while they stay here 🫶🏼

Volunteer: What do you need?

New foster family: We have nothing for a newborn. This was unexpected.

THIS is why we exist.

When a new foster family is in need, we give. Giving and loving lavishly is one of the very best parts of this mission. Walking alongside foster parents on a day filled with so many questions is not lost on us. We’ve got you, little one, and your foster parents too.

Love, you’re not alone. ❤🖤❤️🖤
