Acres of Diamonds Provides New Beginnings for Families in Need Breaking the Cycle

Our children are our future. That’s an idea that most parents can identify with as we work diligently

In 1995, Pearl Tadema recognized the growing homelessness crisis and

raised funds to buy and furnish a home in Duvall. She invited homeless moms and kids from the community to move into the house and provided them with everything they would need to improve their lives and escape their current situations. As a Christian organization that is biblically driven, Acres of Diamonds has provided counseling, parenting advice, financial support, and community to mothers and children for nearly 30 years. In addition to the support systems in place for mothers, there are also children’s programs to help kids develop into responsible young adults. They receive supplemental academic support, relational and emotional training, and intentional mentoring. Acres of Diamonds aims to decrease the symptoms of trauma and help kids become the best versions of themselves. LIONSCOVE stands firmly behind Acres of Diamonds’ efforts. Liam and his wife Rachel regularly volunteer with the kids program, and the LIONSCOVE team recently participated in Acres of Diamonds’ volunteer day by supporting their Olympic-themed summer camp. LIONSCOVE is sponsoring the annual gala at the end of September, and those of you based in Washington have been invited to join us. Please let us know if you want to learn more about Acres of Diamonds or get involved. It is a great cause that we can all rally around to help those in need in our community!

to provide our kids with the tools, skills, and knowledge to find success in the future and make the world a better place for all. However, many children in our community do not get the same opportunities as others due to a financial or housing situation that is completely out of their control. Often, the mothers of these kids are in difficult situations themselves and cannot provide the essentials for their children. Acres of Diamonds is committed to helping mothers and children in Washington break free from the cycle and harm of homelessness.
