Our Kids AreYour Kids
We enjoyed a wonderful Children’s Day a few weeks ago. Groundbreaking took
place for a new group home. We honored several individuals and groups for sacrificial
service to our kids. We laughed and cried at video of children in care speaking from
the heart about their attachment to Foster’s Home. I hope you will make it a priority
to attend this annual event each second Saturday of September.
As I glance around the walls of my office, I see numerous pictures of my
family. There is a picture of me as an infant, with my twin brother and three older
siblings. There are pictures of my wife and three kids. There are pictures of our three
grandkids. You could easily conclude that family is central to my life, and you would
be correct.
Outside the walls of my office is a neighborhood of homes that serve as family to
anywhere from 40-55 children at any given time. The only healthy family many of our
children will ever know is the one they have at Foster’s Home.
Our kids at Foster’s Home have also become your kids. You are vested in their
lives by your love, your prayers, and your gifts to support their life here. Years ago
we became committed to the practice of sending a picture of a child in care with each
receipt letter that goes out. We feature a different child each month. Many of you
have commented about how much those faces mean to you. I have seen them on your
refrigerators and mirrors. Some of you have memorized the stories of each child.
Fall is a special time around the Home. Our kids enjoy playing outside in the
cooler weather. We relish watching several of our boys play high school football.
Our kids silently look forward to the holiday season when they enjoy the generosity
of friends they’ve never met. But it is also a very solemn time for them as they
experience life AWAY from family. This, while most of us look forward to time WITH
family. Please pray for them during this bittersweet time of year.

Spirit of Sacrifice
Colby and Kara Pack
Colby and Kara have been involved in many different
ways over the past few years. Not only do they help
acquire animals for our show program, they support
and help fund a yearly hunting trip, Hunt for the Future,
that takes several of our children to Kara’s father’s
ranch in Fredericksburg for a once in a lifetime hunting
experience. We thank them for their service to our
neighborhood.
J.J. Barton
J.J. is no stranger to working hard, especially for Foster’s
Home. J.J. was actually employed by the home several
years ago. Even though he no longer works at Foster’s
Home, he is a constant fixture behind the scenes. He
frequently gets tapped on his shoulder to do various
projects around our neighborhood. He also works
tirelessly to make sure our annual auction goes off
without a hitch. Thank you, J.J. for all you do for the
children and the home!
Tommie Tate
Tommie has been a tutor in our Achiever’s program for
over 34 years. Prior to coming to Foster’s Home, she was
a teacher and basketball coach for 13 years. Tommie has
helped more than 200 children achieve their educational
goals. She exemplifies the meaning of the Myrtie Foster
award, a true Spirit of Sacrifice. We are thankful for the
time she continues to dedicate to our children. Thank
you, Tommie for being a fixture at Foster’s Home.

Lynne Lovett TSU Interior Design
Lynne and two of her Interior Design classes spent countless hours
at Foster’s Home over the past two years. They redesigned and
decorated our Counseling Room and our Achiever’s Library. They
spent time with the children in order to meet their needs with the
new designs. Each project has brightened our neighborhood!
Delta Zeta and
Kappa Delta Rho
For several years, Delta Zeta and Kappa Delta Rho have
happily volunteered their time helping Foster’s Home.
They hold an Easter Egg hunt yearly and an annual
Thanksgiving dinner. Kappa Delta Rho also spends
numerous hours and Saturdays helping us prepare for our
auction. We couldn’t do it without their help!
Children’s Day 2014
This year’s Children’s Day was a great success!
We welcomed several former residents,
including Kyle Biddlecombe (pictured to
the far left) who spoke about the lessons he
learned while at Foster’s Home. Guests were
also treated to videos from each child in the
Neighborhood, describing what they like most
about Foster’s Home.

Welcome to Foster’s Home
Please join us in welcoming Jessica McKamy as
our new Case Manager. She comes to us straight from
earning her Master’s Degree in Social Work from the
University of Arlington.
She grew up in Granbury, Texas, and earned her
Bachelor’s Degree at Tarleton State University. While at
Tarleton, Jessica completed her social work internship at
Foster’s Home. Once she was done with her internship,
she stayed on and worked in the office while she was in
school for her Master’s Degree.
She will be working as the Case Manager for two
boys’ homes and work on the training that the staff receives throughout the year. We are looking
forward to many years of working with Jessica!
A Healthy Goodbye
In 2006, Glenn picked up a young man at the DFW Airport who
was flying in to interview for a position with Foster’s Home. He was fresh
out of York College, and had grown up as a missionary’s son in Italy. That
young man was Titus Robison. We knew a good man when we saw one,
and hired Titus to work in development for Foster’s Home, primarily
among churches. Aside from a brief stint where he moved back to Italy,
Titus has been with us since 2006. We are very proud to announce that
Titus has just been named the new Executive Director for Hope Harbor. Hope Harbor is a children’s home in Claremore, Oklahoma. Titus will
begin work there on October 13.
We are so happy to have had the eight year relationship with Titus, and are proud of what he
accomplished. Our church support and church relations are better now than at any time in our 54 year
history. Titus has traveled countless miles to build relationships between churches and our children. We pray God’s blessings on his new work, and on our search for another “Titus” to carry on what he so
successfully did for our children.
Titus and Angie moved here as just a young married couple. They leave with three daughters,
a wealth of experience in development, and all the support and love we can send with him to another
great work involving children. Thanks, Titus, for a job well done!

Future at Foster’s Home
Future can look like many different things
to many different people.
It can be in seen in the progress and
growth at Foster’s Home, as in the picture to the
right. The Gullo Family attended a ceremonial
groundbreaking for the newest group home here
at Foster’s Home. This home will replace one of
our older homes that currently houses boys. The
home is being built in the memory of a daughter
and grandson in the Gullo Family.
To the left is T.J. while visiting the campus of Abilene
Christian University this summer. T.J. will be a senior next year,
but is already looking at making plans for his future away from
Foster’s Home. We are hopeful for T.J.’s future and are looking
forward to watching him
continue to grow!
To the right, you will see
Bethany and Austin surveying
the new crop of animals we
are raising for the new show
season.
Opportunities to Help Change Lives
There are always new and different ways to help change lives at Foster’s Home. Below are just a few of the
new things you can help with:
♥Senior Class Rings: 6 at $225.00 each: We have 6 juniors who will be purchasing senior rings soon.
♥Animal Feed: It is that time again! Our Animal Program has already started off strong;
we have more animals this year and more children participating in the stock show than last year.
♥Driver’s Education $325.00: We will soon have one new student driver.
If you want to help with these or other needs, please contact Lacy,
254-968-2143 x. 245 or at [email protected]

End of the Summer Fun
Back to School
Getting almost 50 children ready to go back to school is no small task. With
the help of people like Pam Tatum, who bought backpacks for each child in
the neighborhood, and churches helping with school supplies, it makes it a
much smoother transition. We are grateful that there are so many who helped
our children this year!
Thank you to Lilly Bachhofer, pictured below, for her help this year, too! She
was working on a community service project and decided that Foster’s Home
needed her help. She came and rearranged and organized the playroom in
our gym. Thank you so much, Lilly!

The Beauty and the Beast of the IRA
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) have been a lifesaver for many Americans who try
to take control of their retirement income. Many have invested years of savings into them, and
depend on them for income in their retirement years. The tax advantages of the IRA make them
almost unbeatable for such use.
However, the beauty of the IRA becomes a beast at your passing. Every dollar of the IRA
becomes taxable to your heirs. Thus, all the things you worked to avoid during your working life
become realized at your death.
If your goal is to provide your heirs with regular income after you are gone, there is a way
to avoid the taxation on your IRA and still provide for your heirs for years to come.
The creation of a testamentary (after death) Charitable Remainder Unitrust allows you
to fund the trust with your IRA, thus avoiding the normal shrinkage due to taxation. The trust
is set up to make regular payments to your spouse and/or heirs for life, a term of years, or both.
The amount remaining in the trust at its termination then goes to the charity of your choosing.
If this interests you, consult with your professional tax advisor about this useful tool to
accomplish your goals for your family, as well as your charitable intent. Or you can call Glenn to
discuss how this planning tool might meet your needs. His number is 254 968-2143, x. 235. Or
you can email him at [email protected]. Many such valuable planning tools are available
for you to review at fostershome.giftlegacy.com. We are here to help you!
