Shout out to Charlie Sectish for bringing this one to our attention.
Our friends at Yark Automotive Group and 13 Action News have generously donated $1,300 to Isaiah 117 House to support foster children during their difficult transitions. This contribution aids the organization's mission to provide a nurturing and comforting environment for children entering the foster care system.
Jennifer Bohnsack, a 12-year foster parent, highlighted the challenges children face when entering the foster system. They often arrive with inadequate clothing and wait long hours for placement. Motivated by these hardships, Bohnsack has championed bringing Isaiah 117 House to Lucas County, aiming to create a welcoming environment for children on their removal day with personalized care and comfort.
"When children enter the foster care system, they do not always have the items they need. Sometimes, they are taken to the Children's Services office building for hours while waiting for a placement," Bohnsack explained. "On removal day, they would come to a home, greeted by volunteers who know their name, with their favorite foods prepared, and freshly baked cookies in the oven."
"Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause." -Isaiah 1:17
