Helping Hand Home for Children

Congratulations to our April Employee of the Month, Amanda Moreno! 🌟

Amanda has been part of Helping Hand Home for more than 20 years, growing from a Therapeutic Childcare Specialist into a Licensed Therapist and Case Manager on our Clinical Team.

She has helped shape play therapy on our campus, continuously finding thoughtful ways to better support the children in our care. Her work reflects deep expertise and a genuine commitment to helping every child feel safe, seen, and loved.

Amanda’s creativity, compassion, and leadership make a lasting impact on the children and families we serve. We are so grateful for her dedication and the difference she makes in bringing our mission to life each day. 💙

Community Partner Shoutout ❤️

Through our partnership with Wendy’s Wonderful Kids, a program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, we’re proud to have two dedicated recruiters serving youth in our community. Recently, Ali, one incredible teen we serve, had a dream of celebrating her quinceañera—and thanks to our amazing community partners, that dream became a reality. 💫

We’re so grateful to our community partners who made it all possible:

Bake A Wish, Foster Angels of Central Texas, Heart Gallery of Central Texas, Highland Baptist Church, Partnerships for Children, and Pop-Up Birthday.

Because of our amazing partners, she experienced a night filled with joy, culture, and love, surrounded by people who showed up just for her. Together, they honored her heritage and created a meaningful celebration of this important milestone in her life.
