    Donnis Steele was raised in a pastor’s home in the inner-city of Chicago, which ministered to broken and rejected families and children who had experienced abuse, addictions, and homelessness. He was involved in the foster care system for most of his life due to his parents fostering 75 young men over the years. For the past several years he has been working with at risk children to provide a safe and stable home environment through foster homes and group homes. After several years of seeing hundreds of children displaced from their families, the need to provide a stable and loving environment is very clear.

    Leslie Sanford joined our team in May 2022 to help launch this new ministry. She comes to us with great experience having worked in foster care since 2006. Her experience in foster care started at DFCS but then transitioned into working with private foster care agencies so that she could work more closely with children in care as well as supporting the foster families. Leslie comes to us having a Master’s in Forensic Psychology, but most of all a heart for God and a love for children and families. She is married and a mom of 3 boys.
