At Inspiritus, we have the privilege of witnessing extraordinary acts of compassion every day.

Today, we’re honored to recognize Michelle McBride as our Foster Parent of the Year. For the past three years, Michelle has opened her heart and home to some of our agency’s most medically fragile children, providing not only exceptional care, but the love, stability, and encouragement every child deserves. As a nurse, Michelle brings remarkable expertise to every child she welcomes. But what truly sets her apart is something no degree can teach—her unwavering compassion. She sees each child for who they are, not the challenges they face, and creates a home where they feel safe, valued, and deeply loved. No matter who comes through her door, Michelle welcomes each child with the same warmth, patience, and unwavering commitment. Through every milestone, every obstacle, and every victory, she reminds children that they matter and that they belong. Michelle’s impact reaches far beyond the walls of her home. She is changing lives one child at a time, and inspiring all of us with her extraordinary example of what it means to foster with heart. Please join us in congratulating Michelle McBride, our 2026 Inspiritus Foster Parent of the Year! 💙
