The mission of Isaiah 117 House is threefold:
(1) reduce trauma for children awaiting placement
(2) lighten the load for child welfare services
(3) ease the transition for foster families
When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their welfare, they are usually brought to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) office to await placement with a foster family. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, dirty and in desperate need of love and support.
Isaiah l 17 House provides a comforting home where these children, instead, can be brought to wait - a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good foster placement.
Isaiah 117 House provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting placement.
We also have an ongoing need for gift cards, which allow us to respond in a more personal and immediate way. We use them to treat our guests to items of their choosing—anything from meals to clothing and shoes. Gift cards also help us fill gaps for foster families and during guest placements when specific items aren’t available in our Giving Room. We also encourage becomong a Sock Buddy. All recurring donors will receive a free pair of socks no matter the amount they commit to give, but when you commit to give $25 per month for 12 months ($300), your support covers the cost to lavishly love on one guest at an Isaiah 117 House. https://support.isaiah117house.com/give/544307/#!/donation/checkout
Our focus is the children we serve. Case workers ask if the home is available. We do not ask about race, orientation, or any other trait. If the home is available, we say "yes". It's that simple. All are welcome here.
