“It is always the right time for children who are being born and formed in mind, body and spirit every minute as life goes on.” Those words, written by Marian Wright Edelman in 1996, stand out to me every day here at Children’s Village. Each day over 70 children and their families come to Children’s Village in Yakima or Sunnyside, or someone from Children’s Village goes out to their home. Each day the staff and families of Children’s Village live out the reality of the challenges to support the mind, body and spirit of children with special needs.
To my dearest Adriel –
It was so good to see you tonight – you’re getting so big, so tall.
You know you made my night – when I reached out for a hug and you leapt into my arms and you wrapped yourself around me.
That moment was….
I could tell you were tired. No sign language tonight. Every day is different – today may not have been a “good day” for you.
Helen Jewett did not like telling her age, and no wonder. She was like this endless bright, incandescent Fall season, giving us day after day of bright sparkling, invigorating display. Not at all like any almost-94-year-old we have ever known.

Tracing back to the origin of this “word” to early 1600’s, in Greek, the meaning: Love for mankind.
Such a lengthy word for such a simple philosophy.
To quote another - “Love is the force that makes us fully human.” So, to be fully human we must love… and, to love humankind fully [...]
Seems every time someone tours Children’s Village and begins to understand the power that takes place, they give. How can you not? Knowledge of the work, the mission, the impact, gives visitors the power to change and life. For some… it is the first time they have every understood that. WE have to continue to educate, educate, [...]
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own [...]
Every day i am asked “Are you scared?”
“You know. the economy” Are you scared no one will give?” they say.
I don’t tell them the truth. That I am always scared, that I have been scared every day. That people give each and every day is my amazement. it is my surprise every day. Every gift gives me wonderment, [...]
Children’s Village depends on community support, and on local donations through Children’s Miracle Network. Yesterday, October 9th, was the first of three days of our local radiothon broadcast on 1280AM KIT and 107.3FM.
Mike from KIT was at the Village, interviewing doctors from both Children’s Village and Seattle Children’s. As we prepared for the interviews, Mike [...]
On Monday, Oct. 6, Costco presented a $65,000 check to The Memorial Foundation from the sale of Newman’s Own Grape Juice sold at the Yakima location. The timing of this donation is a tribute to Paul Newman’s legacy of giving and is helping our community provide necessary funding for children’s health care program and [...]
As I toured visitors through Children’s Village, I was reminded over and over again what a remarkable place it is… A place children with special needs and their families can come and feel comfortable, like their right at home with their friends and family. A place of complete inclusion; a place that believes all children [...]
