Every child has a spark. Ignite their dreams.

As we wrap up the first full year of our program to empower children by expanding their access to activities and opportunities, we are pleased to share why our work is so important for youth and the communities they live in. Scroll down to read about Ki'Marra's spark.

KI'MARRA'S SPARK: Ki’Marra, age 17, has been dancing with Legendary Elite Dance Team for several years. Her goal is to continue excelling in dance and majorette as a pathway to college. As expenses have grown out of control, her family sought assistance from the Hous Foundation to be sure Ki’Marra could continue dancing. Her mother reports dance gives Ki’Marra confidence. Her skills continue to improve. She recently auditioned for the Short North Stage production of the Wiz and will be a member of the Dance Ensemble!

Every child has a spark.
