Another summer of creativity, collaboration, and impact with GSD&M! ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™ We were thrilled to once again partner with their talented Daze of Summer interns for a pro bono project benefiting Helping Hand Home.

Throughout the summer, the team developed creative assets, strategies, and recommendations to strengthen our brand, communications, and analytics โ€” helping us better share our mission, expand our reach, communicate our impact, and strengthen internal processes. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Thank you, GSD&M and the Daze of Summer interns, for sharing your time and expertise with us. We canโ€™t wait to put your incredible work into action!

๐Ÿฆ‹ Where Hope Grows Wings ๐Ÿฆ‹

A heartfelt thank you to the incredibly talented Kendra Germenis () for bringing this beautiful butterfly mural to life on our campus. ๐Ÿ’™

More than a work of art, this mural symbolizes the completion of our foster families' certification journey and the start of their next chapter. Designed as a photo backdrop, it gives newly certified foster parents a place to celebrate this incredible milestone, commemorate their achievement, and capture the moment they begin providing hope and healing to children in our community. As they begin this journey, they'll help children discover their own wings as they heal, grow, and thrive through compassionate, trauma-informed care.

We are so grateful for Kendra's creativity and generosity in creating such a meaningful space where families can celebrate and begin spreading their wings with our Foster and Adopt team by their side every step of the way.

This mural is a beautiful addition to our campus, and we can't wait to see so many new foster and adoptive parents standing in front of these wings as they begin making a lasting impact.

Thank you, Kendra, for helping hope take flight. โœจ๐Ÿก
