Twin sisters Roxanne and Liz
Lori Adair
Every so often, a moment reminds us what community really means. This past week, PebbleCreek came together in a way that reached far beyond furniture and household items—it reached directly into the lives of two young adults stepping out of foster care and into their very first home; twin sisters Liz and Roxanne.
Lori and Doug Adair teamed up with Foster Your Future, a nonprofit supporting young people aging out of foster care, to help these young adults begin their next chapter with dignity, comfort, and a sense of belonging. Many of these young people move into their first apartments with little more than determination and hope. What they often lack are the everyday items that make a space feel safe, functional, and truly their own.
Over the past several months, PebbleCreek neighbors have opened their hearts and their homes, offering furniture, kitchen appliances, and essentials to these young adults. Each donation carried a quiet message: You matter. You deserve a good start. You’re not alone.
This week, those messages became real, tangible support. With the help of Home Depot, we coordinated the pickup and delivery of about 10 major items—a six–chair dining table, wrought iron patio chairs, an office chair, a vacuum, a shoe rack, and other household necessities. Driving a small moving truck, Doug and I made the 44–mile trip each way from Goodyear to Chandler, carrying not just furniture, but the generosity of dozens of neighbors who chose to lift someone up.
When Liz and Roxanne saw the items, their faces lit up with a mix of relief, excitement, and something deeper—the feeling of being seen. The dining table wasn’t just a piece of furniture; it was a place where they could share meals, invite friends, and build memories. The patio chairs offered a quiet corner to breathe after long days. The vacuum and shoe rack meant they could care for their new home with pride. Every item helped transform an empty apartment into a space that felt lived in, cared for, and hopeful.
Moments like this remind us that community isn’t defined by geography—it’s defined by kindness. It’s defined by people who choose to give, even when no one is watching. It’s defined by neighbors who believe that every young person deserves a chance to begin adulthood with support behind them.
To everyone who donated, asked how to help, or encouraged others to get involved: thank you. Your generosity didn’t just help furnish an apartment. It gave two young adults a stronger start, a sense of stability, and a reminder that we believe in their future. Thank you, PebbleCreek! You make us proud to call this place home.
