The mission of Inspira Resource Center is empowering  women to make life-affirming decisions during pregnancy through the practical help of free pregnancy and parenting resources, and sharing Christ's love in word and action. We believe that women are entitled to caring and loving support during a challenging pregnancy, no matter what the circumstance. We are dedicated to helping women make the right decision for themselves, their family, and their unborn child.

We understand that an unplanned pregnancy can cause anxiety, confusion, and fear. Our goal is to support women and their families during this time of uncertainty.

 When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.

Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.

 We exist to achieve permanent sanctuary and healing homes for children from hard places. Our story begins with experiencing firsthand a system that is broken and deciding to work to fix it. Our Executive Director, Amanda Boyd, began working in the foster care field seven years ago to address problems she encountered with the system when she became a foster mother to a sibling group of three who she and her husband later adopted.

Our vision is to become a model child placement agency by supporting children and families through Trust-Based Relational Intervention.
