Lovely weather, fantastic volunteers, a great turn-out and participants from literally “all walks of life!”

Nothing is much more inspiring than watching such a varied group…young mothers toting babies, grandpa’s pushing strollers and racers running their hearts out. There were 243 registered participants, as well as several “tag-alongs” in strollers and baby carriers. Following the awards ceremony, Veterans United Foundation presented Coyote Hill with a check for $2,500!

THANK YOU, Veteran’s United! Also – thank you participants and volunteers – we couldn’t do it without YOU!

We love these notes of reassurance and encouragement…reminding us why we do what we do. We hope you’ll also be encouraged. It is because of your continued support that we are able to make this kind of difference. As this young lady states – we’re not just changing lives…together, we are literally saving lives. Thank you for helping us rescue these children and give them “A Place to Be a Child.”

Coyote Hill was the best time of my life, with amazing people…people who give their lives to help children. Many foster kids feel like foster homes are bit like jail, but while at Coyote Hill, I went to water parks, concerts and places that blew my mind. Before coming to Coyote Hill, I had never been to a concert or a hotel. While at Coyote Hill, my Home Parent Mom took me to a Christian concert, and all I could do was cry because I was so thankful for how she was helping me.

The people at Coyote Hill are so kind and understanding. They changed my life and taught me to be a better person. I don’t know how I can ever thank these people that literally saved my life. The direction my life was going before I came to Coyote Hill…I just don’t think I would have made it to adulthood. So, I am very thankful for all of you, and the way you are changing kids’ lives every day. God bless each of you!
