"Lori's Voice stepped in at a time when medical bills for our infant with feeding
problems were coming in very quickly. They paid a large co-pay for our
daughter's hospitalization within a couple weeks of receiving my application.
We are so grateful for their help and for their love for our little girl!"

Accessible Swing
"We have a three year old with Cerebral Palsy
who loves the new swing at the park!!! Now she can
play along with the others instead of only
watching ! Thanks a million Lori! It means a
whole lot to us as a family! You are awesome!"

"Childhood should be a time filled with friends and fun, but sometimes kids with special needs have a harder time making friends and playing because they can’t always use the playground equipment. For some children, like my son Ben, who has cerebral palsy, using a traditional swing has taken years of practice, and still, it remains a work in progress. For others, whose muscles or minds refuse to cooperate, the combination of complex steps may elude them for a lifetime.
Thanks to Lori’s Voice, a new accessible swing at the playground beside the Coopersville Area District Library is allowing children with special needs a chance to experience the simple pleasure of swinging. Nestled in a supportive seat and secured by a protective harness, they can finally feel what it is like to soar like a bird.
Situated alongside a traditional swing, these kids also have a chance to socialize and develop friendships, creating childhood memories filled with joy and happiness. And that is a wonderful gift." -Jodi Hosterman

Lori Hastings is a woman of true compassion, integrity and humor. She has been spiritually gifted with the desire and ability to improve the circumstances of those around her. While she may face certain physical limitations, she has called on God to strengthen her in so many other ways. Her selfless
personality is a blessing to all those she comes in contact with. "Lori's Voice" is destined to be another amazing tool to reach out to others and bless and inspire them with her spirit that reminds each of us to never give up! By Kim Knauf |
I have known the Hastings family for a long time. Lori and Dave Hastings are truly a one of a kind couple as their Love exudes from their relationship and family. Although Lori has struggled with physical issues most of her life, it did not completely surprise me when I heard of her initiating a project helping others. Lori's Voice will be a beacon of hope and charity in helping people who struggle with spiritual, emotional, economic and physical needs. Lori has a very giving Spirit and the love of God pours out from her heart and I am sure it will in her work and writings. She is an amazing spirit filled women, prayer warrior and proud to say friend. I am sure her grit, vibrance and love of life will shine through the Lori's Voice project. I wish Lori the best in her new endeavor and I am sure that her efforts will be a success.

I find it a true privilege to say I know Lori Hastings. She is an inspiration beyond measure. When I first meet Lori, it only took seconds before my eyes are drawn from her wheelchair to her very soul. Her life is an open book. Blessed with an amazing sense of humor, this woman of deep faith and compassion, not only "talks the talk, but she walks the walk." From this new venture, "Lori's Voice" will become another channel for her to reach others "right where they are" in their own journey. She continues to motivate both the young and the old.

Lori's Voice is another labor of love from one of God's beautiful people. An inspiration to each of us to get the most of our talents in sharing His love with our brothers and sisters on our journey with Him. I am always amazed by those whose humility allows them to love without reservation or condescension. Lori and her husband, David, are wonderful examples of this quality. God bless you in your endeavor.
