Some young friends of mine had a really big dream and you can help their dream along by taking a few minutes to vote! They are in the running for a $25,000 grant from Pepsi which would make a huge difference in this worthy program. BigHouse is the brain child of a young wife and mother, Micah. She with the help of her hubby have organized a nonprofit support system for the foster parents and children of Lee County. With your help they can continue to grow and expand beyond our county. 
Micah's parents became foster parents to a sibling group a little over 3 years ago. They recently were able to adopt 3 precious little girls. There are many more children who are still in foster care. Micah's dream is to make sure that those children in foster care are provided with things that the state can not provide and may be difficult for the foster parents to afford. She has organized a clothes closet and already found a rental property that volunteers have been working on. There are plans for music, dance, and art lessons as well as after school tutoring. Here are a few pictures of the progress they have made. The Reading Room-
A current project- providing a new swim suit and towel for each foster child
The Clothes Closet
Prom Dresses
And the Birthday Room- where foster parents can make sure each child has a special birthday gift!
