The Isaiah Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) organization chartered in 1984 by a group of Christian
people who believe that all children are gifts from God to be loved
by all. Our goal continues to be directed toward serving the physical,
emotional, and spiritual needs of the physically dependent child
by giving the family an opportunity to occasionally retreat from
the heavy obligations of continuous care.
Since these children are life-long dependent upon
others for their basic needs of food, shelter, and other daily routine
care, many families are faced with the responsibility of providing
this love and care for an extended time. The Isaiah Foundation
provides the avenue for families to share this accountability by
shouldering some of their daily burdens.
Through the generous donations of others and the
United Way, the Isaiah Foundation is able to provide training
for these relief caregivers and to help subsidize some of the costs
of respite care. These highly qualified and trained caregivers are
committed to rendering proper care according to the family's desires
and direction in the setting of the family home.
The Isaiah Foundation strives to nurture
both body and spirit, and to comfort in suffering and disability.
By recognizing that the entire family is affected by the problems
of children, our goal expands to include professional support to
work through difficulties stemming from trauma, abuse, divorce,
or death, and to find solutions based on Biblical principles and
Christian love. Both the Isaiah Foundation and Child's
Play Foundation fund family support through crisis counseling
and coordinated care.
