A heartfelt thank you to Summerside Pools Inc. and owners Troy Franzen and Josh Hudepohl for adopting 7 Cincinnati families this holiday season, providing meals and gifts for 22 children and 14 adults. To create the ultimate holiday experience, Summerside Pools did not place limitations on the items families could ask for. Their goal was to provide families with a memorable holiday meal and gifts for each child, along with gifts for the whole family. Thanks to their generosity, these families had a holiday they’ll never forget.

Matt and Donna Griggs never planned on becoming foster parents. But after caring for their nieces for nearly a decade, a single conversation changed everything. It opened their eyes to the world of treatment foster care and set them on an incredible journey.

Since getting licensed through Pressley Ridge in 2021, they've welcomed 16 children into their home, offering love, stability, and a place to belong. Their story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the most fulfilling paths are the ones we never expected to take. 💪

💙 Meet the Carpenter family! 💙
Troy and Christine Carpenter would say "maybe someday" when it came to expanding their family. When Christmas 2022 came around, they knew that "someday" was here.

After becoming certified treatment foster parents, they received a phone call—not about one child, but three.

“It was very scary,” Christine recalled. “But something just felt right.” Read the full story to see how this one phone call brought this family together: https://www.pressleyridge.org/stories/carpenter-family/
