2018 Host Family of the Year Finalist
The Tolleson family, a host family in North Carolina
I have spent the last year and a half with the amazing Tolleson family and not one day has passed where I haven’t felt accepted, loved and like part of their craziness. I can’t even put all the exciting things I have experienced with them into words. We’ve been on family vacation, have had the craziest karaoke parties, summer days on the lake, snow days with movie night, ran a 5K together and had hotel room dance parties. Their door was always open for my family from Germany too!
Ella Grace, Emilie and Savannah Kate as so much more than my host kids – they are my siblings! I would’ve never imaged how much three kids can change my life and how much they can teach me! Those girls show me every day what unconditional love is when they shower me with hugs and kisses. They teach me how to appreciate the small things in life and they even made a picky eater like me try new foods!
