Founders
Hi There. We are crazy, cool parents to 5 amazing and crazy, cool kiddos. But, first, we are Dan and Elizabeth Thorndike – married 17 years and living this life one moment at a time. We have a full and blessed life, but we are clumsily tackling a journey we never foresaw ourselves living.
Board of directors
Our Board of Directors is made up of an extraordinary team of compassionate individuals handpicked by God. Each member brings a unique set of gifts. Together, we elevate our ministry to new heights. We work hard, but we also have a lot of fun along the way!
