A Story of Painting Hope

For more than ten years, Grace Home has walked alongside pregnant women who have endured some of life’s most brutal battles. Many arrive after seasons of trauma, having experienced homelessness, domestic abuse, substance addiction, instability, or generational patterns that left them without support. When they step through our doors, they find safety, dignity, and the chance to begin again.

From parenting classes and life-skills coaching to a nurturing community and faith-based encouragement, our mission is simple: to empower moms so they and their children can flourish. Every life changed becomes the beginning of a stronger, healthier generation.

We are honored to partner with News 9 and local artist Kyle Trudelle, from Trudelle Galleries, who will create an original painting live on-air for this special event. As he paints, Kyle will share his own powerful story, one marked by deep childhood trauma and the courageous healing that followed. Kyle endured severe abuse at a young age, yet today he walks in freedom through Christ, therapy, and the steadfast love of his family.

Kyle now uses his art to tell stories of resilience and redemption and to raise support for others who have walked through unimaginable circumstances. With a passion for Grace Home’s mission, he has generously donated this original live auction painting for in support of our moms and babies. His artwork is an offering of hope from someone who knows firsthand the impact that healing, support, and a safe community can have.

Proceeds from this auction will directly support Grace Home's mission.
If you’re not bidding, you can still make an online donation to help moms and babies find safety, stability, healing, and a new beginning.
