While this question was not specifically asked by one of our kids, it is a question many foster youth have.

"Why hold on to someone when you know you have to let them go?" All of our staff have different answer to this question.

For Residential Counselor, Cathy Fleenor, (Stickleyville Cottage) she loves working in this ministry and getting the chance to love every kid that talks though our doors...
"To stop the cycle of neglect, abandonment, abuse, with each child! My heart will heal, knowing they will provide homes with wonderful memories for their children, unlike what they’ve experienced. Love never fails"

A recent study from Brigham Young University highlights the remarkable impact of positive childhood experiences on a child's life. "Positive childhood experiences, like having strong relationships with trusted adults, can mitigate the effects of childhood adversity and lead to long-term health benefits."

Our dedicated team at Harvest is committed to creating a safe and loving space where children can build strong relationships with trusted adults. We believe that every child deserves the chance to grow and thrive, despite the difficulties they may have faced.

This heartwarming research reinforces our belief in the importance of offering children a positive and loving environment. The impact of these experiences extends far beyond their childhood, influencing their long-term health and happiness.
