Our Stories

of Love and Compassion

The Edelbrock Family

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!

The Edwards Family

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!

The Winiecki Family

Our daughter Wendy has such a funny sense of humor! She is entertaining and very interesting, but she is hard to get to know because she is nonverbal.

The King Family

Because of Jill’s House, our church, and local community, we have established relationships that love and support our family. We are eternally grateful to be part of the Jill’s House family.

The Allard Family

As a military family we have moved a lot, but we have been able to call Virginia our home since 2015, thanks to help from Jill's House!

The Knowlton Family

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.

The Hart Family

Thank you for seeing the beauty of our children. That is what is most touching. We view Jill’s House as faith in action in the most beautiful way—everyone invested in Jill’s House loves and cares for people who are so often on the periphery.

The Smith Family

Unless you have a child with special needs and live the day-to-day underlying stress that that places on a family, and then feel the relief when that is taken away temporarily, I think it would be hard to understand exactly how amazing Jill’s House is for a family like ours.
