Second-and THIRD-generation Jaimes! For those who don't know, Jim Jaime was our long-time board president and a generous supporter of Mustard Seed -- Jim, his wife, Trish, and the Jaime family were instrumental in starting our annual golf outing. Jim and Trish's daughter Maria, her daughter Ella and a friend of Ella's brought some gifts and fell in love with baby Haze. They will be back! 💕

👏🎉Please join us in congratulating Hayley for reaching her 20 month sobriety milestone today!

Hayley has been at Mustard Seed Shelter for just over a year. She came to our home from Emmaus House just before giving birth to her son, Haze, who recently celebrated his first birthday. Prior to Emmaus House, she spent three months at Tri-Cap where she began her journey into recovery!

We are so proud of Hayley and the progress she has made while at our home. You can read her full story on our website: themustardseedshelter.org/hayley

🎂🎈We celebrated Haze's first birthday! This little guy and his mom have been with us since just before his birth last year. They are a special part of our Mustard Seed family, surrounded by love and care -- and it sure shows in these photos! Thank you to our friend Bre, who baked the dairy-free, egg-free cake, and thank you to ALL who helped make this milestone birthday so special 💕

Posting a little late ... but when our friend Jamie Forbes was at our home for a meeting a couple of weeks ago, we were delighted to be able to celebrate this wonderful human's special day. Happy belated birthday, Jamie, and thank you for your example of leadership and love for Saginaw and all you do for our community! 🎂💕
