It really wasn’t the plan to have more than our two kids.
But that was prior to learning about what foster kids could do for our family.
We have welcomed several foster children into the quality heating and air of our home over the years. And of course, this came with blessing of our biological children. In fact, it was our son, the oldest, who suggested that we help one of his friends in school. This kid was not in a good situation. He was trying so hard but his family was in a very bad place with addiction and other problems. They lived in a series of low rent apartment with the last one not even having any residential HVAC. So he came to stay with us once he went into the foster care system. Since then, we’ve actually added more space to our home to accommodate other children who are in need. There are two additions that we added to our home. They both serve as bedrooms for up to four kids if needed. The HVAC professionals installed ductless heat pumps in the new additions. I learned that the existing HVAC unit just wasn’t big enough to take on the added air volume. But having the ductless heat pumps has been great. The kids love it because they have their own thermostats in those new spaces. We love it because the ductless heat pumps are really efficient and do a great job of providing quality heating and air in those rooms. It’s a blessing to be able to help our kids and provide a safe, supportive place for them to live.
