An Interview with Bill Yick

"What led you to becoming involved with giving to/volunteering at Cherokee Home for Children?"

"I had no knowledge of CHC until I was called by Kaci to come tune an antique piano that had been donated. I did what I could for it but it was not in good condition.  I donated a better one for them and then only later discovered that it was a Sojourner destination and I signed up for it."

“What have you taken away from your experience visiting with the staff and kids at Cherokee Home for Children?”

"I am impressed with the love and care that is shown by all the staff and house parents."

"Would you encourage others to get involved with and support the work of Cherokee Home for Children? Why?"

"Yes I would. It is a great way to serve God and the children who need a nurturing safe place to grow and learn more about Jesus and his love."

Anything else you want to say?

"Thank all of you at Cherokee for having us as your guests and allowing us to serve in this way. We receive much more than we give."

Mary Meadows' Testimonial

Mary Meadows, Sojourner

"Actually, Jerry Don and Helen are who got us started volunteering at Cherokee when we first became *Sojourners. They told us it was the place to go and we keep coming because they were absolutely correct. We have taken away, long lasting, love and friendships. We have seen Christians loving on children who are displaced from their families, which gives a new strong meaning to the word love and the fruit of the spirit. Great examples!! Yes, we encourage others to be a part of the Cherokee family by giving and volunteering because we believe in you and what you are doing. All the staff is so giving and do a great job."
