Dorothy needs respite, too. She is so happy at Jill's House. She wants to go there, she has friends there, and she gets to do things she loves with wonderful people.

We are truly grateful for Jill’s House. We think it’s amazing that Olivia has had this opportunity and that Jill’s House allows her to thrive in a safe environment among other kids.

When you first look at respite care, there can be a little bit of guilt. But it’s nice to know that we can do something with our other children, or something for the two of us, and Isaac will also be having a good time with people we trust.

Mimi does not regularly interact with people outside of school and at home, so Jill’s House has become another home for her. Jill’s House provides stability and predictability for her.

They don’t see kids like Leksi as a burden; they see them as blessings. We also hear from Jill’s House staff that they are honored to be with our kids. It is incredibly beautiful to know that Jill’s House loves our sweet Leksi and sees her as we do.

Although Jill’s House is his special place, and the experiences are unique for him, we all feel like we have won the lottery. He looks forward to his visits so much that we can’t help but feel grateful in our hearts.

Kids with special needs might be overwhelming or intimidating to some people. God doesn’t make mistakes, and He has a plan for every single person on this planet. Everyone at Jill’s House seems to know that; they embrace that, and they love and serve our kids and families so beautifully!

Zoe’s weekends at Jill’s House help her to feel like a grown-up girl. She gets to try on an independent life and enjoys doing things that other kids get to enjoy!

What I love the most about Jill’s House is that Steven can participate in various activities, and he is not made to feel limited in his ability. So many people are available to help each child experience all the activities.

For me and my family, Jill’s House is also about saving lives, because that’s what they do. The founders, staff, board members, fellows, volunteers, sponsors, and contributors of Jill’s House save lives.

Before his first 2nd birthday Shane was diagnosed with Autism. He is now 12 years old, and such a great kid! Recently, Jill's House Weekend Adventure Camp came to our area, and it has made Shane so happy.

We knew before she was born that she would have Down syndrome, and when she reached puberty, we learned that she was autistic as well. We moved from a lifestyle of practice, performance, and perfection to this lovely life we now have with Emma!

Keith loves interacting with people, using technology, and making people laugh. He loves kids and will be assisting us as we develop a Special Needs Ministry, at our new church. We are excited to see how God uses Keith to bless others in the future!

We are so grateful for Jill’s House and for helping our daughter experience all that camp has to offer. It’s unique for kids like Kate to be able to attend an overnight camp, and because of Jill’s House, she can!

We are so grateful for Jill’s House and the Windy City Camp and providing Margot a place to be herself and feel special. Camp has been so great for Margot! In our family with an older brother and a younger brother, camp is Margot’s special place where she gets her special attention.

I wish Jill’s House could be available for Muna forever. Muna makes us smile and laugh more than anyone. We have so much love for her! I believe that Muna has shown our family how to care and love for one another.
