What’s Happening at ChildServe

We had another great time this year at ChildServe’s Run, Walk and FUN 4 the Kids!

Runners and walkers alike enjoyed a fresh breeze as they navigated the 5k course in the Johnston neighborhoods just north of ChildServe’s campus.

ChildServe nurses make an amazing difference in the lives of children, young adults, and families across Iowa. Individually, nurses can transform the lives of those they help support. For the Dearinger family, ChildServe nurse Pat Rice-Larimer has done just that.

Sarah’s Story

Before coming to ChildServe, 16-year-old Sarah spent several months in the hospital recovering from a car crash. In addition to broken bones and internal injuries, she sustained large wounds and lost a lot of muscle and tissue.

From Our Parents

“You all have given me the greatest thing any mother could ever ask for - a hug."

-Angie, Hunter’s Mom

“ChildServe gave Lucas his voice. Without ChildServe and the therapy he has received, he would not be talking. There are not enough words to express our gratitude.”

– Susan, Lucas’ Mom

"I feel so grateful for the relationships we built at ChildServe. They care for a child medically, but it's beyond that. The staff care for the child as a whole person and the whole family."

– Buffy, Hugh’s Mom
