From the Director

Dear Friends,

It would have been hard to imagine at the beginning of 2018 that Lilyfield would grow as much as we did. Proverbs 16:9 says, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” That verse rang true for us this past year.

Through the strategic planning process, the board created a roadmap to bring Lilyfield’s work full circle as we implemented foster care prevention services. We had a vision for strengthening families and serving the most vulnerable children and families at all stages of crisis. But the Lord directed our steps as an agency. We continue our foster care and adoption services and providing support to families through counseling. Now we also provide a variety of services for at-risk children with the launch of our EmpowerOKC program. We grew from 15 staff members to 22 and served 662 clients last year.

You were a part of our renewed vision in 2018. We had 323 volunteers serve with us in 2018. These individuals provided support and care for the children and families that we serve. Our partners and stakeholders displayed significant financial generosity to Lilyfield in 2018. We raised over $600,000 in charitable donations from individuals, business, churches and foundations. It is a tremendous blessing to be gifted with your financial resources and we take seriously the responsibility to steward those well.

I hope you will find this report to be informative and encouraging. We could not continue in our work without the support of each one of you.

Sincerely,

Holly Towers, LCSW

Executive Director

Annual Report 2018

“Loving children from foster care is really hard. The thing that makes it worth it is the moment when they run up to you and hug you and squeeze you and you know you have made them feel safe and loved.”

- Sonya, Lilyfield Foster Parent

“My adopt ive fami ly and I st i l l get together a lmost once a month, and they send me a steady stream of pictures and updates. Instead of feel ing l ike I have lost something , I can instead happi ly say that I have gained four new members of my fami ly. I f you had asked me that f i rst day I found out I was pregnant, there is no way I could have to ld you everything would turn out in such a wonderful way, but God’s p lans are bigger and better than anythingI could imagine.”

- Molly, L i ly f ie ld B irth Mother

“We have experienced God’s abundance in our family through our adoption journey. We encourage every family to consider foster care or adoption. You will be amazed at how God’s provision brings joy to your life by adding to your family through adoption.”

“We stay in touch with Fin’s birth mom and biological father and send pictures and updates. It has certainly been an emotional journey; we did not expect or plan to adopt a child with special needs but this little boy has forever changed our lives for the better.”

“We started thinking last summer as we bought our first house about the next step for us and what our story would look like, and foster care was it. Once we got that in our heads, it became part of our prayer... We have worked alongside Lilyfield for thirteen months now and we are so thankful each day for the way foster care has moved us.”

“In this photo you see brothers, our sons. Not by blood, but by so much more than that. They are brothers because of love, sacrifice, and grace. Because of a loving sacrifice made by two women, these boys were given life, parents, and each other. By the grace of God, these boys are brothers. We are so thankful that Lilyfield was there to help us all find each other.”
