Hope

Hope is the thing that keeps us moving forward - believing with every fiber of our being that everything will work out the way it is supposed to. However, that hopefulness requires not only patience - but also hard work filled with good intentions.

Hope is not the sustainer, yet it is the thing that gets us through dark moments. It allows us to visualize the dreams that will come our way.

It's the real day-to-day slog and mental resolve (doing all the good work without considering the reward) - brightened by occasional pops of delight (enough to keep us going) - doing the heavy lifting and manifesting our hopes into reality.

After a rough year, DRC is thankfully experiencing one of those bright moments of optimism. I will be able to document the evolving layers of detail here in the next few weeks.

But for now, know that while the "hope is still hoping," we are doing our jobs, maintaining our authenticity and transparency, counting all the blessings with deep gratitude while staying focused on the future to help as many kiddos find a safe, educational home that serves them (and their families) best.

DRC News

As mentioned, we have several points of good news that have to remain under wraps - for the moment. All will be revealed in due time.

The one exciting piece of news we can share is that we are delighted to announce that we have found our DRC Pop-up mentor.

Janine recently retired back to the area after 18 years in Florida, and we are thrilled that she has agreed to join the DRC Family. You can read her bio and learn more about the Pop-ups here.

There is still time to register for the last week of the Summer Program 9/26 - 30. Plenty of fun was had this past week!

Our first day back for the 24/25 academic year is Sept. 9th. We are going to be hopping with a full roster of kiddos. If you or your child feel that DRC would fit their needs - please get in touch. We are dedicated to helping any child who needs us.

Our Craft Fair has been rescheduled for Oct. 5th. We are still seeking Vendors. Sign up here.
