Dr. Terry Wood Memorial
The House of Martha Crisis Nursery, opened in September 1999, is a safe, loving home for children ages 4–8. Children come to House of Martha orphaned or abandoned, sick and scared. At the nursery children are surrounded with love, prayer and nurture while our social work staff works to locate extended family, or to secure adoptive or foster parents. Usually after staying with us for a few months the child is moving through the healing process and is able to be united with a family of his or her own.
One of our dreams has always been to have a classroom at House of Martha that was equipped and dedicated to meet the special needs of children who have been recently traumatized, whether because their parents have died, or because of abandonment.
Dr. Wood was a faithful friend and supporter of Alliance for Children Everywhere for more than 20 years. It is our great honor to remember him by establishing this education program. One of the rooms at House of Martha is being cheerfully furnished with desks and books. This special room for learning and healing is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Terry Wood, a loving and protective dad, an excellent physician, an avid musician and a man who did all he could to make everything beautiful.
