"It's often said that you're 'less than' because you're a teen mom—because of your age, your circumstances, or the challenges you face. That's not the case here. It’s not the case here." In a powerful moment, Daniella shares the emotional truth of what it's like to face difficult choices—like deciding whether to use your last bit of gas to get to work, or buy food for your child, or give them a Christmas gift. She gets real about how hard it can be, but at Grace's Table, she doesn’t have to worry. There’s wraparound support, and her child had the best Christmas ever because of this community. I can’t thank you enough, but here it goes anyway… THANK YOU for being a champion of families who speak the truth and stand strong together! Your support is giving families the hope and resources they need to thrive. If you're still deciding about where to make a year-end gift consider one of the following: + Your gift of $10 provides gas to get to and from Grace's Table. + Your gift of $50 keeps a child in clean diapers for one month. + Your gift of $150 covers the cost of feeding 8 families for an evening of programming. Every gift is doubled up to $50,000 before the year ends thanks to a generous matching gift. Will you give a gift today? Any amount makes all the difference for families rooted in supportive community, empowering them as they take bold steps into their future.

As an estate planning lawyer, I help families every day dealing with the unexpected. Truly, creating a well crafted, legally valid estate plan makes things so very much easier for your family if there is an emergency or worse. We often think, "it won't happen to me" but sadly, everyone's time will come eventually. Estate plans are one way we can control and manage things on our family's behalf at the appopriate time. #ArizonaEstatePlanning #WhyYouNeedAnEstatePlan #ScheduleYourConsultation

Reunification month gets lost in the other celebratory months because it’s viewed as the expectation. It’s not considered an act of “going above and beyond.” Reunification month is the most important month. Parents facing themselves, having uncomfortable conversations and experiences, accepting responsibility for their actions, and overcoming adversity. Their children working through circumstances outside of their control, building stronger bonds with their families to understand grace, love and compassion. This doesn’t get recognition because what’s the picture to be posted on social media? What do you say about these folks who did this work? Our system doesn’t recognize them as “heroes” because it’s what we are supposed to do. WV subsides adoptions from foster care a great deal. Minimum $700 per month until the child turns 18 plus a Medicaid card. When a child is reunified, they don’t get any support. The case is closed. They get Medicaid if the qualify for Medicaid. Milestones should be celebrated not shamed. I’m glad to see more recognition for reunification.

It's no small feat to travel 160,000,000km, to visit 200 million children, in 800 million homes, in only 34 hours... Luckily Santa has magic on his side. According to Arnold Pompos of Purdue University, Santa would have to travel a total of 160,000,000km – further than the distance from the Earth to the Sun – to visit 200 million children in 800 million homes spread over 3x1013 m2 of land around the world. He would have about 10 hours, from 8pm to 6am, to deliver the presents. Luckily, children happen to be spread across a wide range of time zones, buying Santa an additional 24 hours. Even so, covering this distance in 34 hours is certainly no mean feat. Crunching the figures, we get a speed of 4,705,882km/h, far slower than the speed of light, but still fast enough that the air resistance is likely to vaporize Santa, along with all the children’s gifts… if he wasn’t riding a magic sleigh.
