August 22nd, 2011 will be a day to remember. It's the day Sterling, Kyle, Travis, and John had been waiting for patiently for over a year. It's the day they finally got to move into their new home and spend their first night.

Isaiah House—the newest home in the DHR village

Isaiah House, the newest house in the Village, is a beautiful six-bedroom home with spacious bedrooms for each of the Ranchers who live there. Since Isaiah House is an ICF-MR licensed home like our other five homes on the Ranch, there's a mountain of paperwork that had to be approved before the home could be opened.

Our deepest appreciation to all who made Isaiah House possible! The Meadows Foundation provided the lead grant for the house, but many individual donors and volunteers pitched in to get it through to completion. Mr. Pat did much of the interior finish work, and it's a beautiful place.

At last our guys can come home to the Village at the end of the day after just a short walk home from the Pavilion, kick up their heels, visit their neighbors and—like all the rest of us—water their lawns!

Our deepest appreciation to all who helped, especially our anonymous family who donated many thousands of dollars to make it possible.
