Nearly 10,000 children in Michigan are in foster care right now many going to bed without their parents Jason Sroufe, our COO of child and family services spoke from the heart at the Michigan house, urging leaders to close the funding, gap and meet the real needs of these kids and the families who care for them. This is about more than numbers. It’s about their futures. #fostercare #families #michigan (fb)

After 47 weeks of hard work and heart, we said a bittersweet goodbye to our friend Don at the Wellspring Frankenmuth campus. He came to us in August 2024 with a clear goal, to regain his strength after a fall and return home. With determination, a cheerful spirit, and the unwavering support of his daughter Martha, Don made the most of every therapy session and became a bright light in our community. From his constant smile to his love of laughter and fun, Don reminded us daily how powerful positivity can be. Martha shares, “My dad has been at Wellspring for 47 weeks and has had the best care. Without their dedication, he would not have done so well. For that we are forever grateful.” We’re proud of you, Don! And we’ll miss you! To learn more about Wellspring, visit wellspringlutheran.com.
