Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
​—Isaiah 43:19

Dear Friends,

As I write this, I’m eagerly awaiting the birth of my daughter’s twins tomorrow. New life is such a beautiful reminder of God’s grace and the fresh starts He gives us.

This season of anticipation has me reflecting on the incredible growth we’ve experienced at Makers of Care, and I’m filled with gratitude for the community that makes this possible.

Your support has been the heartbeat of our expansion, and I’m thrilled to share that we have some exciting announcements on the horizon—new initiatives that will help us serve even more caregivers like you.

Thank you for being a vital part of our journey. Let’s continue to grow together, nurturing the seeds of compassion and care that change lives.

With heartfelt thanks,

Susan Wahlers
Executive Director, Makers of Care
