“We have spent the past several years sharing about a day many people never knew existed – removal day for a child,” said Ronda Paulson, founder and executive director of Isaiah 117 House. “This event is about continuing that awareness and raising the funds to build a home for that child awaiting foster placement. This is a great opportunity to learn more about Isaiah 117 House and how to partner with us in making a transformational impact in the lives of children in the Piney Woods region.”
About Isaiah 117 House
Isaiah 117 House is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement. Currently, when a child is removed in a county without an Isaiah 117 House, the child must wait in the child welfare services office. The child is often dirty, hungry, tired, scared, and unable to bring any personal possessions. Isaiah 117 House allows for that same child to never go to an office, but rather a home with loving volunteers to care for them.
Isaiah 117 House provides for that child’s needs, whatever they may be, in these critical moments between removal and placement. Isaiah 117 House has locations in Tennessee, Indiana, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Texas, Virginia and Iowa.
