Summer 2013 - Home of the Innocents

SECOND QUARTER | VOLUME 79 | SUMMER 2013
The Tassel is Worth the Hassle
On February 22, four students from the Home of
the Innocent’s Weinberg Academy and Discovery
Classrooms received their high school diplomas
at the school’s first graduation ceremony. One
student was the first person in his family to ever
graduate.
The school follows a year-round schedule and
completed a 12-week cycle in February. The
graduates were recognized at the Home for a full
day, complete with a commencement attended by
students, their family members and staff.
Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Academy on the Home’s campus
The Harry and Jeanette
Weinberg Foundation
University of Louisville Men’s Soccer Coach and
author Ken Lolla was the commencement speaker.
He told the graduates that they can be anything
they want and to believe in their dreams. The coach
also gave each graduate a copy of his book, Finding
Your Gifts. His speech was inspiring to everyone in
attendance, not just our graduates!
The graduates also received a gift and card signed
by all their fellow students and the Home’s
staff. Other students of Weinberg and Discovery
planned and participated in the ceremony,
including setting up, running the sound board,
introducing graduates and giving speeches.
Teresa Landenwich, Head Teacher, shared that
“there’s no better payday for a teacher than to see
the look on a student’s face holding his diploma
saying, ‘I am the first person in my family to
graduate from high school.’”
All of the graduates have plans to continue their
academic careers. Gordon Brown, the Home’s
President and CEO told the graduates, “we are all
your family and we are so proud of you.”
There were few dry eyes in the house as each
graduate moved their tassel to the other side of
their cap. One of our graduates put it best when
she said, “the tassel was worth the hassle!”
Students received their diplomas from Ms. Michele Eckels,
Principal of State Agency Schools
On June 5, Weinberg held their second graduation
ceremony for two students. WDRB’s Fox in the
Morning Host Sterling Riggs was the second
commencement’s speaker, encouraging the
graduates to reach their dreams and inspiring them
to do anything they wanted to do!
______________________________________
Harry and Jeanette
Weinberg Academy
In August 2011, Jefferson County Public Schools
(JCPS) added the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg
Academy to the list of schools opening their doors
to students that fall. Led by nine JCPS staff, the
three-classroom school follows JCPS curriculum
and offers a way for our students to attend school
with extra support they might otherwise be lacking
due to behavioral issues.
Construction of Weinberg Academy was
funded by The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg
Foundation, one of the largest private
foundations in the United States. Their
sole purpose is to assist low-income and
vulnerable individuals and families through
nonprofit grants to direct-service providers
and programs.
Grants from the Weinberg Foundation may
be in the form of operating, program, or
capital. Mr. Weinberg’s view, and the mission
of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation,
is a reflection of a famous statement in the
Talmud: “If all the afflictions of the world
were assembled on one side of the scale
and poverty on the other, poverty would
outweigh them all.” The challenge of the
Board and staff of the Weinberg Foundation
is not the idealism of those who believe that
poverty can be eliminated. The Foundation
is guided by the teaching of Rabbi Tarfon
who said, “You are not obligated to finish
the task, neither are you free to neglect it.”
(Pirke Avot 2:20 and 2:21)

Notes from Home
As much as possible, we bring attention to the wonderful donors that help us
keep the Home open. We are so grateful to all the generous members of our
community that enable us to provide a loving, caring home for the children of
our region who are in crisis.
Each year, we are honored to present an award to one member of our community
who has made a huge impact on the lives of the children we care for – the Hero
for the Home award. This year, we honored Brown Allen at the Heroes for the
Home fundraising breakfast.
While on the board of Kosair Charities, Brown Allen
made his first site visit to the Home’s Gray Street
location when the Home requested a capital gift.
Allen was moved by the cramped space and vowed
to help the children have a more comfortable place to
live. In 1998, Mr. Allen discovered a way for the Home
to pay for its new location at the Market Street campus.
Mr. Allen is rolling off the Home’s board this year,
after two three-year terms. He was also an executive
committee member of the Kosair Charities board for Mr. Allen was presented with an award and a cape – as every
hero should have!
29 years, as well a board member for the Shriner’s
Hospital for Children in Lexington.
There’s not enough space on this page or time in the day for the amount of thanks we have for Brown
Allen. He’s a hero to all of us, including many children in the region.
Throughout this issue of Hometown News, I hope you are as inspired as I am by our other heroes – the
kids we serve, from a child with Autism asking his mother for a glass of milk, or one of our own former
residents whose son is a new team member on one of the greatest basketball teams in our country.
Thank you for caring about our kids as much as we do.
Best,
Gordon Brown
President and CEO
Thank you to our 2013 Heroes for the Home Sponsors

We’ve finished building...
but he’s just getting started.
Hunter has been at our Home for nearly three years. Generous donors like you have helped
build our amazing 16-building residential children’s village for kids like him. He came to us on
a ventilator and was unable to lift his head. With lots of care from our compassionate staff and
access to our therapeutic facilities including a 92 degree pool, Hunter is now able to sit up and
stand with help. He can also put on his own socks and do many things no one ever thought he
would be able to achieve – things that most people take for granted with their own little ones.
Recently, he stood up, played toss with a beach ball and blew kisses.
He is making great strides because people like you built him a solid foundation for success.
Thanks to our community, Hunter has the right equipment, therapy and resources to keep
achieving. However, it’s more than just technology and buildings. These children need support
and complex personalized care to keep going.
Hunter isn’t finished yet. We know he’s only just begun. Yet, he needs your continued support
to achieve his next milestone.
In fact, Hunter and the other 3,900 children we serve need your help now more than ever. They
are coming to us with more complicated medical and psychological needs than we’ve ever seen
in the past, but with the right resources, we can offer advanced programming, therapy and hope.
Your financial investment provides that hope. Please make your gift today using the enclosed
envelope or by visiting www.homeoftheinnocents.org/hunter and help Hunter and our other
kids continue what they’ve started.
Hunter isn’t finished

Success Spans Generations
by Meredith Pack
For Denise Hawkins, living at the Home of the
Innocents was life changing. “I don’t know where
I’d be today if I didn’t have the motivation or a
chance to become independent,” she explains.
She was raised by an abusive stepfather, and
when she was 15, Denise was pregnant with
her first son. She contacted someone at social
services who recommended she move from
Richmond, Kentucky to live at the Home during
her pregnancy and take part in the Pregnant
and Parenting Teen program. Denise made the
decision that she wanted to go to school, succeed
and continue to learn while being a parent, and
moved to the Home for guidance.
While at the Home, Denise continued to go to
school and also took childcare classes that prepared
her for what to expect as a mother and how to go
about daily life raising a child responsibly. “They
gave me a sense of bettering myself to help my son
so that he could grow up having a better life than
I did,” she remembers. “They taught us coping
skills, how to have good communication with your
child, how to discipline properly and how to stay
in control as a parent.”
When her son Dominique was born, she said
they formed an immediate bond. The two moved
back home with her mother, and Denise went
to Job Corps to get her GED and completed a
Certified Nursing Assistant program. She
found a job at a nursing home and her
mother watched Dominique while
she worked.
Denise and Dominique have
shared many joys in their
life together, including
welcoming four other
children into the family.
Their latest celebration
was Dominique
committing to attend
the University of
Kentucky and play
on the basketball
team beginning in
the fall of 2013.
“When he was five,
he said wanted to play
basketball. Every year
we would ask what he
4
Denise, Dominique and family on Signing Day
wanted to do when he grew up and he would
always say he wanted to be an NBA star. I
made sure he stayed involved and he had a
goal every time he moved up to a new team.
In middle school, his AAU (Amateur Athletic
Union) coach helped him toward becoming
Mr. Basketball. Now he’s reached his next dream
of being on the UK team. I’ve always been there
for him and backed him up.”
Denise credits the Home of the Innocents for her
success. “The staff at the Home is great, they were
a big support and still stay in contact with me,”
she says.
She is looking forward to attending
Dominique’s games with her other
children Nia (15), Keaura (10), Gerius
(7) and Sania (3) to cheer on her
oldest son. She’s come a long
way since her time at the Home
20 years ago, and hopes that
other young women who
live here have the same
success, “If teens only
take one thing from the
program, it’s that you
always want the best for
your children. You’re a
mother now and it’s time
to grow up and be there
for your child.” A slam
dunk if you ask us.
More Milk Please!
by Nicole Breyette
Jamey ready for his Cub Scout meeting
I gave Jamey a choice of milk or water with dinner
and he said, “Milk.” No big deal. But twice
during dinner, he looked at me and said, “More
milk, please.” It was totally awesome—I didn’t
have to prompt him by asking him anything!
Both times I gave him more milk and he
was very happy. This is amazing! I’m tearing
up just thinking about it! Imagine how
crazy it sounds … I’m tearing up because
my 7-year-old son randomly asked for
more milk!
Jamey has received services through the Home’s
Autism Department since 2010. His mother
first reached out to the Home for intervention
when her four year old son began running from
their home into the street and having frequent
inconsolable tantrums; he had not developed
language skills and did not make any sounds.
Jamey’s family was profoundly impacted by the
challenges of keeping him safe and meeting
his needs. The Home of the Innocents Autism
Department helped the family enroll in the
program to begin Applied Behavior Analysis
(ABA) and autism intervention services. After
two years and a lot of hard work, Jamey’s mother
shared the wonderful news that Jamey asked for
more milk. To some parents, this may be an
everyday occurrence. For Jamey, it was a first
and a reason to celebrate – the success of all
their hard work was paying off.
Jamey’s mother, along with other parents,
siblings and friends of individuals with autism
celebrate these small miracles every day.
According to his therapist, Jamey now has a
vocabulary of more than 1,000 words, does
consistently well on all his spelling tests, and is
“a happy kid!” By being aware of the challenges
of autism, as well as the great potential
of children with autism, each of us has
the opportunity to support them on their
journey. The latest statistic tells us that
one in 50 school age children are on the
autism spectrum. Many of the families in
our community are affected by this statistic
and working hard every day to celebrate little
miracles.
The Autism Department is entering its
tenth year serving children with autism
and other developmental disabilities. Last
year we served more than 100 children
with autism. For more information about
the Home’s autism services, contact
our Referral/Intake Coordinator at
(502) 596-1237, our Director of Autism
Services at (502) 596-1252 or visit our website
at www.homeoftheinnocents.org/autism.
Your donations can help us reach even
more children in need of services. Call

A Service of Home of the Innocents
Whayne Supply Company Celebrates 100 Years
As part of their 100 Year Celebration, Whayne
Supply Company President and CEO Monty Boyd
challenged each company branch to do various
community service projects. Employees from
Building 14 in Louisville, Used Shop, Louisville
Power Rebuild Center and the Oil Lab partnered
together to support the Home of the Innocents
because they wanted to help children and their
families in our community.
Staff are taking part in various fundraising activities
throughout 2013. They’re collecting change in a
program called Change to Make a Change, as well
as making monthly item donations to the Home.
The company has monthly giving themes to keep
participants involved.
April: personal care items
May: summer fun
June: summer clothing and shoes
July: back to school
August: baby shower
September: household items
October: coats
November: games and toys
December: winter clothing and shoes
In April, Whayne Supply Company dropped off personal care items and 100 teddy bears.
So far, the amount of donations collected have
been encouraging. In April, in addition to donating
many personal items, the team brought 100
TeamWhayne Teddy Bears for the children at the
Home.
Staff at the Home look forward to seeing their
friends from Whayne Supply each month and
are excited that the kids will benefit from their
donations throughout the year.

A Home Away from Home
by Jim Morrissey
The seven-year-old being pushed in a wheelchair
down the pool incline pathway was apprehensive,
never-ever having been un-chaired. As the warm
(92 degree) water rose, his staff aide gave gentle
assurance, “Fear not. It’s gonna be okay.”
Then, suddenly water was in his lap and he felt
blessed buoyancy lift his arms and legs effortlessly.
He let loose a shout of uninhibited JOY!
That thrilling incident serves as the centerpiece
of the remarkable Home of the Innocents and its
Director, Gordon Brown, an indefatigable staff and
volunteers by the thousand (A special bow to pool
inspirator Mickey Baron).
It is all the thanks Kay and I need to endorse our
investment in this unique charitable adventure.
We found the Home more than 10 years ago
in cramped quarters on Gray Street. We were
searching for a major charity to invest in long-term.
The Home’s mission–then and now–is to succor
youngsters suffering dire need for medical and
personal care. Gordon and then Board President
Carl Thomas defined that need and showed us in
detail how a new Home of the Innocents would
evolve.
Their creative vision of the future has come to pass,
propelled by two campaigns totaling $30 million.
A sparkling campus was born that anchors the
eastern edge of the terrific downtown Louisville
regeneration.
The Home is not just graceful architectural use
of brick and mortar. Indoor miracles are always
Therapy pool in the Advanced Therapy Center
in the making. Kay and I are most proud of the
Advanced Therapy Center bearing our names.
But this is only a piece of the creative institution
replacing, appropriately, the Bourbon Stockyards.
So many, many people and charitable entities
deserve credit (hooray for Kosair Charities)
for making Home of the Innocents not only a
Kentucky masterpiece, but a national pioneer in
the care and nurturing of America’s most deserving
darlings.
For more information about the Home’s Therapy
Pool, contact us at 502.596.1141 or email
