My family knows all too well about how other childcare facilities are, and how horribly they treat their staff and the kids. This is definitely not one of them. There is no stress in my family that comes from this child care facility, whereas there was daily stress when my family was part of other facilities that were part of the Department of Defense. If you want your family to be part of a horrible organization then please go to the facilities on Ft Carson. If you want your family to feel welcomed and cared for then do not hesitate to be a part of Lionheart. We have had nothing but outstanding leadership and direction from the staff there. I would not hesitate to have my family be part of this great organization, as it was the best decision that we ever made.

I'll refrain from coarse language here since this is a faith based shop, but it could definitely use a rollback to previous operations. Depending on who is working that day, you may or may not be greeted, or receive passive aggressive old lady attitude for inconveniencing them by daring to try and shop. One bright light - Deborah. Seems to be one of the ones that "gets it". Very pleasant/straight forward and no frills.

In 2023 I sponsored a child for one year, we communicated by letters on my compassion.com account…read moreand I was sent monthly photo updates of the child. At one point I could no longer afford to sponsor and they were so nice to me they offered to pay for one month. I eventually had to cancel and the process was easy. Compassion International is a legitimate organization that partners with local churches and operates as an after-school program providing daily living necessities for children to get them out of poverty. Financial transparency is provided on their website on Charity Watch and is reviewed on Newsweek. If you are interested in sponsoring I suggest following them on Facebook or watching YouTube videos. Good luck and this is a really good deed. I hope to sponsor a child again in the near future.

I had what I thought was a very nice and long standing relationship with a sponsored child. At 1…read moremonth before her 18th birthday, I got letters from staff at her center in a reply to my last letter to her. They let me know she was not there, but didn't offer any other specific information. I emailed Compassion to ask if she was coming back, where she had gone, and what her graduation date was from the program. No one could give me answers; not about why she was no longer writing me, not about if she'd be back. I called and the information became even more questionable and less helpful. The service rep read me the mail I'd already gotten from the staff member, as if I could not understand what I'd read. She kept repeating that the letter was not sent from the child, as if I didn't already understand that. They told me my sponsored child was at boarding school, and had been for a long time - which was not anything that the child had ever shared, and then when I told them that, they seemed confused, like either they'd misspoken or made something up. This was directly after telling me that usually sponsors know more about the kids than Compassion does. None of the info made sense, and no one I spoke to or emailed had the same story about what was going on. The inquiry started with simple questions (where is the child, when are they graduating, why did a staff person write me, will the child be writing me in the future), and turned into a twilight zone of interactions with them. My take away is that they don't have any specifics about the child, and could not confirm if she's continuing past 18. They seemed desparate to keep me engaged, but had zero understand that a level of transparency and compassion towards the sponsors is necessary. I'm involved because of this child, that I've been corresponding with for nearly a decade. Without info, this all feels like a money grab to me, and after reading a lot of reviews I see that others have similar concerns (where is the kid, is the kid writing the letters, what's going on?). I very sadly let them know I will not be continuing my sponsorship.

I was a foster parent at Hope & Home for 5 years. My husband and I also served as foster parent…read morementors the last 2 years of our time there. At the end of 2019, we reached out to Hope & Home to share our mounting concerns with management and stepped down from leadership. A month later, we closed our foster care license upon learning that several former female employees had allegations of misconduct and/or sexual harassment against the Executive Director, Ross Wright. Concerns we shared with H&H: - High staff turnover - Home Supervisors are ill-equipped to support difficult behaviors/cases - The agency's focus is on growth over quality. My husband and I mentored a family who left H&H. Ross Wright explained in a staff meeting the parents were "rigid" and "unteachable." I saw them as an overwhelmed new foster family with 3-4 foster placements (one of whom was a rebellious teen) in addition to their 2 young boys. Mr. Wright did not want to discuss what could have been done to better support this family. - Hope & Home Vs. "Other" culture (i.e. DHS, the State, other Child Placement Agencies) - Questionable business practices (H&H being removed from Glassdoor, Better Business Bureau, no financial transparency). I have since spoken with more than 10 former Hope & Home employees and 2 foster parents who directly experienced misconduct and/or sexual harassment. Details on this can be found by reading an article written by The Gazette and searching Hope and Home We See You. Hope & Home has the fanciest building and several structured supports for families. I've found that other Child Placement Agencies put their efforts towards more flexible strengths: monetary reimbursement to foster families for specific needs, experienced staff better equipped to assist with difficult behaviors and complicated cases, knowledge and willingness to reach outside the agency for creative solutions to problems, and a stronger relationship between staff and foster families. No agency is perfect: look for the agency that feels like the best fit for you and know that you can always switch (even if you have foster children in your home). Foster care, the various systems, and people are broken, messy, and complicated. This agency has many caring staff and great foster families. I sincerely hope for the resignation of Executive Director (Ross Wright) and Deputy Director (Jacque Thurman-Wright) for significant, positive change.

One thing that David Wilkerson did that I can not expect that it will continue in this or any…read moreother ministry that he founded is that he invested in the lives of so many people on a personal level. I just do not expect it or know anyone else with his energy or calling. It was not really an official part of his ministry more of who he was and how his heart was. I know that organizations and ministries often change vision when the founder dies or leaves. The founder's son, now president of World Challenge said in a letter on World Challenge's page http://www.worldchallenge.org/node/1166 "I join my father in this effort with all my heart." Here is a quote from Gary Wilkerson on the World Challenge web site: "I want to assure you that the vision and ministry of my father and World Challenge, Inc. will continue. We still have the same Board of Directors, same focus and same leading of the Holy Spirit for the work God has placed in our hands. I have been actively serving as President of World Challenge, Inc. for the past year and will officially take the role now. We will not make any major directional changes but will carry on in the same heart and vision as my father. Even though my father has gone to be with the Lord, the work will continue. The needs are still great and your continued support is appreciated as we reach out to the poor and needy." I sincerely endorse World Challenge in the form that Pastor Dave started it. Hoping and praying it stays true to David Wilkerson's vision and heart and most importantly to the Lord.

Can you tell which kind of animal at the ranch is my favorite?…read more Let me tell you...holding these little babies is actual LIFE! Are you mad, sad, glad, rad?? Anything you're going through, this is the place for you. Such a spirit lift! When you're headed down the road to get there you almost think you couldn't possibly be going the right way. It's out in the boondocks, and down a dirt road. But it's so worth the trip. The animals love people so much. The goats might trick you into thinking you're their best friend, but in reality they just want your treats. The babies are so lovable. They always have all kinds of cuties; horses, piggies, alpacas, donkeys, sheep, chickens, ducks, bunnies, ostriches... We go all the time. It's an awesome family fun experience.

They took my other schools off even though I was transferring out. Then, when I called FAFSA to ask why I couldn't add my schools, they said I'd have to call UCCS, so I did. The office of financial aid then proceeded to tell me they didn't add the hold and that I should just add my schools. Well, I couldn't, there's a hold. So he goes and talks to his manager and comes back and is like "so it looks like we put a professional judgment hold." Yeah. No way. And the cherry on top - I had to fix it myself with no help because either I had to come in person (I live 1.5 hours away) or I would have to wait 4 days for a teams meeting that had impossible time options because the office closes at 4pm and I get off work at 3. Terrible experience.
