To have ideas and ambitions for possibilities up ahead is truly a gift. We want to awaken the dreams within our kids that may have been forgotten. We want to impart in them a sense of purpose & adventure. We want to stir up the confidence to explore and discover their own giftings and talents.

“A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.”

We recognize the impact of showing people that they matter, that someone cares about them, and that there is hope for the future. This includes both our kids and our staff.

This past weekend we welcomed two kids to Birch Meadows. It’s been a long time coming, so it was very exciting to see this beautiful home finally have residents. One of them celebrated their birthday within the first few days of arriving and was all smiles when staff took him to a special dinner and sang “Happy Birthday!” as they brought a cake with candles. Truly a beautiful moment for all of us who have been waiting for Birch Meadows to become a fully functional BRS home. We feel so privileged to be able to enter these kids’ stories in this way. Our hope is to impact their lives in a way that only Love can and see them walk forward with a new sense of hope.
