When something ends, something new always begins.

As we end 2023 and look forward to the promise and uncertainty of 2024 – I am a bit torn. A part of me is mourning the loss of yet another year. I feel sad about the changes that continue all around me. I’m nostalgic for the experiences that are now distant memories.

At the same time, I am excited about a new beginning. A clean slate. A chance to keep building and rebuilding the work we have now invested in for nearly 30 years.

So here is to 2024 and the new frontiers. Without a doubt, 2024 won’t be without its challenges. We have an expanded responsibility for a staff of over 40 people and two child welfare programs – but there is so much to look forward to.

It is exciting to know that we are helping to create a world where every child has access to health, hope, home, and purpose.

Here we come 2024 . . . We are just getting started.
