Our House means friends. Once overwhelmed with confusion & anger, he is now one of the most thoughtful & gentle 11-year-olds you’ll ever meet. Once part of Our House’s youth programs, this teen is now on the Mayor’s Youth Council. Think Our House only needs medical professionals when our kids are sick? Our volunteers in health fields fill a variety of everyday needs that are very important to our littlest clients. 302 E Roosevelt Rd; Little Rock, AR www.ourhouseshelter.org
