Dear Friends,

When faced with a community in crisis, the best thing to do is the most basic thing— care.

At Wellroot, care begins with compassion, not judgment. For a child in foster care, it means a safe home and a family who shows up. For a young adult who has aged out of the system with no family to call, it means someone who walks alongside them as they find their footing. For a parent in crisis, it means listening with an open heart, understanding what they have been through, and asking how we can help.

The responses stay with us.
“This is the first time anyone has asked me that.”
“I love my children. I just don’t know what to do.”
“I finally feel like somebody cares what happens next.”

Because of you, that care is taking root across Georgia. Families are finding the courage to hope again. Children are experiencing safety and connection. Young adults are building stable, independent futures. And parents are discovering the strength within themselves to heal and grow.

This is what it means to be rooted in care—to cultivate the kind of compassion that doesn’t just respond to crisis, but transforms it into connection, stability, and hope-filled futures. Wellroot remains rooted in care — and because of you, more families are flourishing.

We remain steadfast in our mission to restore children and families from trauma through Jesus Christ. Thank you for being part of this work and for showing up with care that changes lives.

Warmest Regards,

Allison Ashe
President & CEO
