The challenges seemed insurmountable, but Ella Claire's story was destined for a different outcome.

But her parents, Dean and Susan, refused to give up hope. They embarked on a remarkable journey that led them to embrace the power of love and determination.Over the years of home-based therapy, Ella Claire defied all expectations. By age four, she was crawling, talking, playing the piano, and tackling subjects like geography, all while learning multiple languages. At six, Ella Claire achieved her most awaited milestone, taking her first independent steps.Ella Claire is now a beacon of strength and love. She continues her therapy and daily learning alongside her siblings, sharing her incredible gift of compassion and gentleness. Her life verse, Matthew 21:18-21, reminds us that faith can move mountains, and Ella Claire's journey is a testament to this truth.Join us in celebrating Ella Claire's indomitable spirit and the Wilson family's unwavering love. Ella Claire's story is an inspiration to us all, reminding us to embrace every challenge with courage and grace.Please show your support by sharing this remarkable interview, especially if you know Ella Claire and her journey.

Christian Taylor is a two-time Olympic gold medalist for the triple jump now turned mentor to other up-and-coming athletes! From the outside glance, Christian is the epitome of athletic success, but what he is careful to remind those athletes-in-training is that failure is necessary to reach success. Every failure is an opportunity for growth, for learning, and Christian says that “I’m failing [now] to make sure I get it right at the right time.” His encouragement to future gold-medalists is to let failure be the catalyst for improvement.

Mary Olson is the general manager at KCLU Radio with whom she’s worked for 20+ years! For Mary, radio is a very personal investment – in an age when television, the news, and social media are dominant in popularity, the radio offers a much more intimate, one-on-one relationship experience between the host and the listener. Mary is very passionate about this relationship and the power that the radio host holds to communicate pertinent information about the world we live in. It is her conviction that the radio never turns to just spewing opinions like the news and social media, instead sticking to the facts, laying out information in a concise and clear manner so as to educate individuals in order to make their own informed decisions.

Mike Dutra was considered an “at-risk” child growing up; his father was not very involved in his life and he experienced a lot of hardship at a young age. Fortunately, there were a few men in his life who saw him and chose to step in and fill the gap his father had left in whatever ways they could. Mike has since spent much of his adult life passing that forward by investing in and mentoring other at-risk youth the way the men in his life had when he was a child. Mike is now the president of the rotary club in Westlake Village in another attempt to give back to his community and continue fostering a legacy of service and authentic connection. Is there anyone in your life that you might be gifted to pour into and invest in? What are some of the ways other people have invested in you? Watch the full interview to hear more of Mike’s story!

Stacy DeWitt is the executive director of James Storehouse, an organization dedicated to equipping families with the practical materials needed to foster and adopt children in the child welfare system. When children are removed from poor living situations, they often do not have the time to prepare or take any belongings with them and are left not only without a family, but without their basic human needs of food, clothing, and shelter being met. Many families are committed to taking in those children and providing care, but they are often not equipped with those material resources either. James Storehouse exists to close that gap for foster families between the heart for and ability to adequately provide for the children in need.
