We are so thankful to Culumus Radio Station Group: Albuquerque for their generosity in providing our children with an amazing night of Isotopes baseball! They had a blast! For some of our children it was their first time ever to a baseball game. What an amazing first-time experience! Thank you, thank you! We are so thankful to Laura Martinez for setting this up! We are beyond blessed.😊❤️

Long, well deserved appreciation post!!

On this Mother's Day, we are beyond grateful for all the mothers in our children's lives.

To the mothers who have put their children into our hands, thank you for trusting us with your precious children. Thank you for making the brave step to make changes to better their lives. Know that you have placed your children into very capable hands, and that our wonderful housemothers love your children so, so well!

To our housemoms, you are super heroes. You love unconditionally, fight hard for these precious children to have the best chances in life, you heal the hurts, and you give extra of yourselves even when you feel so tired - because you love that much! We love each of you so dearly - Jenn, Sharon, and Sherry. These children's lives are forever changed because of you! (Our housemoms pray fervently over these children, even when the children have moved on from ACCH. The faithful, spirit-filled dedication of these moms is unprecedented!) We are blessed because of you!

And finally, to the many, many volunteer "moms" who have come on our campus and blessed these children with your love, time, and hearts. Thank you for being such wonderful role-models for our children. The world needs you!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS!

As we come to the close of Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to give a HUGE shoutout to our teachers! Those who have helped us navigate the maze of online learning, THANK YOU! Those who have helped our children in person, THANK YOU! To our teachers at our various elementary schools and middle schools, you are rock-stars! To all our volunteers, educational assistants, and those who came out of retirement to give our children the best chances for success, we cannot say enough thank-yous! We are so blessed by you all.

We hope you had a wonderful cinco de mayo! We sure did. Our kids learned about new foods in celebration. At school they had guacamole, fruit salad, and cinnamon sugar tortilla chips. For dinner one of our cottages had chicken fajitas, Mexican style corn, Spanish riced cauliflower, and strawberry agua fresca. Yumm!!

We are so thankful for our houseparents and their families who show such genuine love and care for the little ones entrusted to us. One such example of such humble, gentle kindness is Sam. We celebrated his birthday yesterday - and it is well deserved! We love you Sammy and it has been a blessing to us to watch you grow into such an amazing role model! Happy Birthday!!

The past couple weeks we have had men on campus working on one of the cell towers. Yesterday they gave us an hour of their time to have a Career Day after school! They talked about what cell towers do, how cranes can help their job (and can even help in the movie industry!), and how to tie very important knots that keep them safe high up in the air. It was a very informative and fun time for our children! Thank you cell tower workers for your heart for our children and for helping them see how much they can do!

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you have as wonderful a day as our office cat Cheeto in her “tiger den”. She loves when you bring donations, especially when those donations come in Cheeto-sized boxes. Wishing you a sunny week on this bright Monday!

Adorable! This little guy helped this little girl across campus because it was just too much for her. She had to carry her helmet, her sweatshirt AND take her bike 🙄. (Not sure why she wouldn’t ride it...) but he jumped in and helped right away. No talking, just sweet actions. Chivalry at its finest! So sweet! 😍👍🏼

Happy New Year! 🥳 May you find love, peace, and childlike wonder this year.
