Our
Story
HOW IT ALL BEGAN...
I grew up watching my parents open our home to children in need — all while raising eight children of their own. Whether a child stayed for a weekend, a summer, or several months, they always knew one thing: our home was a safe place.
That example shaped my heart.
From a young age, I developed a deep passion to provide safety, stability, and love to children who find themselves in and out of foster care — or simply in need of somewhere safe to go.
After working alongside other nonprofits, I repeatedly witnessed the overwhelming shortage of foster homes compared to the growing need. For years, I accepted children in to my home for whatever reason or timeframe was needed. Each experience strengthened my resolve. The desire to do something more continued to grow.
Created 2 Impact was born from that calling.
Our mission is not only to provide children with a safe and nurturing environment, but to equip them with the tools, confidence, and support they need to one day build safe, healthy homes for their own families. We believe in breaking generational cycles and creating lasting change.
Created 2 Impact is more than a dream — it is a hope for children of all ages. A hope for healing. A hope for stability. A hope for impact.
