Moments of transition can be overwhelming, especially for children entering foster care. In this episode of Taylor Community Connection we sit down with Jennifer Bohnsack, Location Lead for Isaiah 117 House Lucas County, to share the inspiring story behind a mission built on compassion, dignity, and community care.

Jennifer explains what sparked her passion to bring Isaiah 117 House to Northwest Ohio after seeing how children entering foster care often wait for hours in stressful, unfamiliar settings. She shares how Isaiah 117 House offers something different. A warm, welcoming home where children can rest, play, and feel safe while they await placement with a foster or kinship family.

In our conversation, Jennifer describes how the Lucas County home came together through what she calls a community of yeses. From a local builder who volunteered his expertise to generous donations of labor, materials, and time, the home stands as a true reflection of collective care. Inside, children arriving with little more than a bag are met with comfort, kindness, and access to personal essentials through the home’s thoughtfully stocked giving room.

Jennifer’s story is a powerful reminder that meaningful change happens when people come together with open hearts. Through Isaiah 117 House, children experiencing one of the most difficult moments of their lives are met with calm, care, and the reassurance that they matter.
