Terri, for years, hurriedly dropped her children at our doorstep, never lingering or pausing for conversation. Though she trusted us with her children, she didn’t yet trust us with a deeper relationship.

Years later, her car ran out of fuel, which quickly spun into a chain reaction. Without a car, she couldn’t go to work. Can’t get to work? Rent won’t get paid. No place to live quickly turns into the threat of losing her children to foster care.

In her darkest hour, she reached out, looking for help to keep her family together. Because of donors and partners like you, we were able to provide beds, linens, household items, and food so her kids would not be taken away from her.

What started as simply helping Terri out in her time of need quickly became her beacon of hope.

It wasn’t just material help; it was a relationship that changed her trajectory.

This is what Every Arkansan is all about—partnering with people like you to create a network of support that empowers others to overcome adversity and pursue their God-given dreams.
