Jordan, April and baby Jeriah Levien mentor and supervise the kids every week.
Both babies are therapeutic and help in their own little ways bring peace and comfort not only to me but to the kids too.
Calvino Neidigh-Kumm founder of the Community of the Triangle Social Services has designated Old Town Christian Ministries - Amy's Place as his charity of choice for 2010. Besides financial support, Cal donates food, clothing, DVD's, magazines, Birthday cards with Movie tickets inside for youth's Birthdays and much more.
Due to his illness, he is not able to move from his bedside. Cal is able to coordinate all his donations and assistance to Amy's Place from his phone and computer. He is awesome. Cal likes to remain annoymous, but I can't let a blog opportunity go by without extending a wonderful thank-you Cal for all you do to help the kids from Amy's Place.

Bjorn, Jenny and baby Ada Bulthuis - mentor and supervise the kids every week.
Barbara McHugh from Bellingham gave us a beautiful couch and chair.
What young couples would take the time to join a bunch of teenagers on a Friday or Saturday night? Two very special couples and their babies . . . that's who.
Meet Baby Jeriah and his parents April and Jordan Levien.
This family comes every week to Amy's Place to help out with the supervision and mentoring youth. On the weekend nights they don't attend, their friends Bjorn and Jenny Bulthuis bring their baby Ada.
It's amazing to me every Friday and Saturday evening these young couples take the time out of their busy schedules to bring their babies to join the group of up to 30 (rowdy) teens each night. The babies bring comfort, and calmness to the evening. Youth don't swear (as much) when the babies are here. The girls love to hold them and Jeriah and Ada's smiles bring a joy and a calmness to the Center. Many of the youth attending Amy's Place come from broken families and don't know what a happy family is.
Thank-you Jordan and April and Bjorn and Jenny for showing youth what a happy family is........Thank-you Baby Jeriah and Baby Ada for the joy an comfort you provide.
