Transforming Lives: Our Unforgettable Service Project for the Humenansky Family

Transforming Lives: Our Unforgettable Service Project for the Humenansky Family

In a world where acts of kindness are often overshadowed, our team recently embarked on a truly inspiring service project. With hearts brimming with compassion and an unwavering desire to make a meaningful difference, we were privileged to lend our assistance to the Humenansky family—an extraordinary household of 11 individuals, including two dedicated parents, their biological children, and the newly adopted children whom this remarkable family embraced as foster parents. Our mission was to transform their basement and give the home a little makeover, but it turned into so much more. With the power of teamwork and a shared purpose, we created a space where love, warmth, and hope could thrive.


Meeting the Humenansky Family:
Upon our first encounter with the Humenansky family, we were instantly captivated by their incredible dedication and unwavering commitment to providing a nurturing environment for foster children. Their love knew no bounds as they welcomed numerous young souls into their embrace, offering support, stability, and a sense of belonging. Overwhelmed by their selflessness, we were inspired to lend a helping hand in any way we could. Over the years, this family has fostered close to 50 children and teens!

Breathing Life into the Basement: The basement of the Humenansky residence needed a little love. Our team saw an opportunity to create something special—a sanctuary where the family and children could gather, bond, and create cherished memories. The tasks at hand included painting the walls, working on the drywall, and reviving the space with a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. Little did we know that our project would expand beyond the basement itself.

Creating a Cozy Living Area: In addition to the renovations, we wanted to provide the Humenansky family with a comfortable living area where they could relax and spend quality time together. With their input, we carefully selected and surprised them with a new art, an upgraded couch, and hung family portraits on the wall. Their living room was now a cozy retreat. The joy on their faces, as they saw the upgrades, was priceless and reinforced our commitment to making this service project truly remarkable.

Inspiring Art: We aimed to ignite creativity and inspiration within the basement by transforming one wall into a captivating chalkboard canvas, providing a space where the children could unleash their imaginations and bring their ideas to life. This dedicated wall became a showcase for their vibrant works of art, proudly displaying their creativity. Musical instruments line the walls, and shelves are full of an array of toys and books creating an environment that nurtures both playfulness and learning. The basement is a haven for self-expression, where artistic endeavors, musical melodies, and imaginative play harmoniously coexist.

Revitalizing the Parents’ Bedroom: Recognizing the tremendous love and care the parents provide to their children, we wanted to offer them a haven of their own—a space where they could retreat, recharge, and find solace. With their blessing, we gave their bedroom a makeover, transforming it into a tranquil sanctuary. Fresh linens, soft lighting, and thoughtful decor created an atmosphere of serenity and rejuvenation—a small gesture to express our gratitude for their tireless dedication.

Overall, our hearts were filled! We truly enjoyed working on this service project and are so grateful to have met this amazing family!

The Energy Dilemma Q&A with Adam Stielstra and Bill Butler

The Energy Dilemma Q&A with Adam Stielstra and Bill Butler

The Lion Project recently threw a luncheon that opened our eyes to the world of energy! Attendees were treated to a screening of Lion Media’s docuseries, The Energy Dilemma, and a Q&A session with its producer and director, Adam Stielstra, and executive producer, Bill Butler.

The Energy Dilemma is a compelling series that tackles some of the most pressing issues facing the energy industry today. From the impact of climate change to the pros and cons of various renewable energy sources, the series covers it all. The screening of the series was an eye-opening experience, and attendees left with a deeper understanding of the complexities of the energy industry and the challenges it faces.

But that wasn’t all! After the screening, attendees had the opportunity to chat with Adam Stielstra and Bill Butler during a Q&A session. They shared insights into the making of the series, the challenges they faced, and what they hoped viewers would take away from the series. The session was lively and engaging, and attendees left feeling inspired and informed.

This event was a great reminder of the kind of work that Lion Media can create. Adam and Bill’s ability to take complex issues and present them in an accessible and engaging way is truly remarkable. The Energy Dilemma is just one example of the talent that is within Lion Media, our sister company.

Overall, The Lion Project’s luncheon event was an absolute blast! It proved that learning can be fun, and that events like this can bring people together to engage with important issues. We’re grateful to Adam Stielstra, and Bill Butler for sharing their expertise and creating such an engaging series that will continue to grow!

Lindsay’s House Service Project Recap

Lindsay’s House Service Project Recap

Lindsay’s House // Service Project
February 12th

Mission: To give a home-makeover to Lindsay, a foster mother of 3.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy as we reflect on the incredible service project we had the privilege to be a part of last Saturday. Our hearts have been touched in ways that words cannot fully express.

We came together as a community to serve Lindsay, a single foster mother, and we witnessed firsthand the power of compassion and generosity. It was amazing to see how each and every one of you contributed to this project in your own unique way, whether it was through financial donations, purchasing items from our Amazon Wish List, or offering up heartfelt prayers. Your support and dedication made all the difference in the world.

As we worked side by side, we saw the impact of our efforts on Lindsay’s life and on the lives of her children. It was truly an honor to be a part of something so special, and we could not have done it without your help.

We are excited to share more about this project in the coming days, as we continue to spread awareness and advocate for those in need. Let us continue to keep Lindsay and her family in our thoughts and prayers, and let us never forget the incredible power of community and compassion.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and we look forward to serving together again soon.
