We had the privilege of knowing Karalee Graves through her heart for service and her love for children. Her passion for education and mission work was evident throughout her life, whether teaching special education students at Northwestern Schools or volunteering abroad. In 2014, she traveled to Haiti with us, helping us work on our first school building and provide a camp experience for children, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she met. Here are some wonderful photos from that trip.

Karalee’s faith was at the center of everything she did. She lived out Christ’s love through countless acts of kindness. Her devotion extended beyond her family, touching the lives of children and communities across the world, including the students she supported in Haiti. Karalee and her husband Bill have been faithful monthly donors since 2014, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to supporting children and education. Through her love and dedication, Karalee created opportunities for children to grow, thrive, and follow their dreams—just as she always encouraged them to do.

Though Karalee is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in the lives she touched and the work she championed. We are deeply grateful for her life, her love, and her unwavering commitment to putting others first.
