Hey Waymark family!

As we enter the second half of the year, we are incredibly grateful as we reflect on all that God has done through Waymark over the past six months. Through camps, special events, life and job skills training, Compass and Journey4ward Groups, and 1:1 mentoring, we have had the privilege of walking alongside children, teens, and young adults impacted by foster care and the families who care for them. Since January, we have already 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝟰𝟳𝟱+ 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝟮𝟲𝟱+ 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝟭𝟵𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝟯𝟱𝟬+ 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀! While it’s never been about numbers, the numbers do represent lives that have been touched and changed. One foster mom wrote: “𝘉𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵. 𝘏𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘶𝘺𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵.” Every relationship built, every memory created, and every life impacted has been possible because of faithful volunteers, generous donors, caring mentors, and supporters like you. Thank you for being part of this journey. We are excited for all that's ahead in the second half of 2026!
