Project Lightwell Foundation

“Then I heard….’repeat after me’” Look how we can equip our kids to remind each other of Who they are no matter what. And then, watch them draw from the storehouse in times they are tempted to think otherwise. “I knew it was a Project Lightwell bookmark, the moment he started reading it.”

Project Lightwell just completed it's first semi-annual Consign4Kids sale, thanks to thousands & thousands of donations and our partner, Rhea Lana Columbus! The best part? Ending the weeks with the FREE Foster Sale! And watching these families be provided for in such a unique way. Next sale is Spring & we welcome all company and family donations for kids items, year round!

Look what’s popped up on an IL festival’s positive message board ????

We may have been quiet on the screen but PL has been on the move on the planet. What you do is always more important than the amount of people who know what you do. And who you are, well that’s far more important than what you do. You are loved, no matter what.

What an impact For the Kids - Milwaukee has in the lives of children! "On the last day of camp, our counselors selected the bunnies for their campers and presented them to express those thoughts and assurance of our love for them... I was on one of our buses riding home from camp, and I saw campers hugging their bunnies with tears in their eyes as they headed for home.?It's hard to leave the joyfulness of camp and return to the uncertainties of the real world, but their little bunny was a warm and cozy friend to cling to." - L. Bly, Director

You don’t have to know much. You just have to believe a little. Then, usually a while later you begin to see how the pain you personally experience in your story, is this ugly but necessary ingredient to maintain the endurance needed to try disrupt thise same ugly fears & hurts in the lives of others. I’m not grateful for the hard parts. I am so thankful for how those hard parts bring validity to coming alongside hurting people. He we grow!

66 truth-telling friends, soon to meet their fostered campers in Wisconsin. PL offers this one, steady reminder of what cannot be stolen by circumstance. And there isn’t a single child who doesn’t need this reminder. Or adult for that matter: You are loved. No matter what.

PL posts will be fewer in the summer months, thanks to my three favorite people being home. But this doesn’t mean PLs impact isn’t growing deeper and wider! Here are some highlights from the past two weeks! -brainstorming partnership with Ukraine orphan ministry -watching Festa serve such a beautiful pocket of Columbus community -sending bookmarks to a family to distribute in El Salvador -partnering with Milwaukee police for an annual community event -presenting to an entertainer for a future show benefit -and to a Florida optimist club who serves children. Here’s my favorite - a Spanish registration from a hostel: “They gave me my bunny because I have to wait to be with my mommy again.” One child, one word at a time. You are loved no matter what.

So grateful to play a tiny part in incredibly impactful events like this one. Even better, having my girls along!

An incredible idea! One thoughtful husband recently wrote this alongside his sponsorship for children to receive life-changing hope via rabbit. All to honor of his wife this Mother's day. Brilliant generosity.
