Day 9 was originally planned to be a day in which we helped the homeless. Due to our crazy schedules, we decided to swap Day 9 with Day 16. So today we made a food donation. We donated some non-perishable food items to a local church food pantry. This particular pantry focuses heavily on providing… Continue reading Day 9: Food Donation

Day 7: Treat A Stranger
By now you have heard my powerful story about the life-changing cups of coffee. It is a story I tell often because it was an amazing moment in my life that I like to share. It shows the impact a simple gesture can have on the life of another person. Today, our task for Day… Continue reading Day 7: Treat A Stranger

Chicken for Children
About a year ago I learned about the Dr. Bill Lewis Center for Children, a small nonprofit organization here in Fort Wayne that is impacting the lives of children who have been sexually abused. Yeah, I said children who have been sexually abused. Does that make you uncomfortable? Does it make your stomach churn? It should. It… Continue reading Chicken for Children

I am sure that many definitions would be similar, but few would be the exact same. This is something that needs to be addressed. One of the best… Continue reading A Brown Bag Lunch To Stop Abuse

More children die of abuse or neglect than of natural causes." - Donna Miller I do not know Donna Miller, but I know that the words she has spoken… Continue reading Supporting Children of Sexual Abuse
A Hometown Chef
They say that the third time is the charm. After life interfered with our plans to volunteer at the Mad Anthonys Children's Hope House we agree.
