Loie reflects on the creation of Hilltop Neighborhood House and the ripple effect that followed — from a $30,000 dream to a thriving block of community care. She recalls how Walt’s “gospel of the hammer” led to free childcare, medical, and dental care for working families, and how neighbors, churches, and volunteers came together to build something lasting. The story flows into the founding of Neighbors’ Place for Women, where safety and belonging replaced fear and instability. Looking back, Loie calls it all “one little yes” — a life that grew from Barbara Cotton’s question into a movement of compassion.
