The Yoder Family shares their heartfelt gratitude: "Thanks so much for letting us stay here while the twins were in the NICU! And for letting us have Matthias here while we were waiting for Malachi to be released. We greatly appreciated the soft beds, food, and shower... kinda like a home away from home! May God bless everyone who helps make Hope's Harbor possible." Stories like this remind us why we do what we do. 💕

As I approach a major milestone – turning 50 – I've been reflecting on the power of community and the incredible impact that sports can have on people’s lives, especially for amputees like my daughter Cami. On December 17th, my 50th birthday, I’ll be walking 50,000 steps with the goal of raising $50,000 to support 5 amazing organizations that help amputees engage in a healthy, active life with a supportive community. These groups do life-changing work by creating opportunities for people to stay active, connected, and empowered. 👉 Here are the 5 organizations I am supporting: Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) provides opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. The Challenged Athletes Foundation believes that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence, and enhances quality of life. Hope’s Harbor supports children receiving medical care by providing critical hospitality services—like housing, meals and community—to their families. Turnstone Center creates possibilities as Northeast Indiana's only free-standing not-for-profit organization providing a comprehensive continuum of supportive services addressing the unique needs of people with disabilities and their families. USA Patriots Athletics (formerly known as the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team) bring athletic and like-minded veteran amputees together to promote the benefits of inclusive sport and therapeutic recreational activities, to inspire and motivate communities of people, to support children with physical challenges, and to operate as a vehicle that offers national opportunities for continued service to our country. USA Volleyball Foundation provides financial support for USA Volleyball’s mission and strategic priorities, and thereby promotes the continued development, growth and sustainability of beach, indoor, sitting, snow and Beach ParaVolley volleyball in the United States. Your support means everything, and I can’t wait to walk this journey with my community. Let’s make 50,000 steps count for something BIG! 💪
