David and June Simpson – Area 6 Foster Family of the Year
Little Rock, Arkansas

Since 1990, David and June Simpson have cared for children with incredibly complex health needs. Despite having no formal medical training, they have become experts on caring for some of Arkansas’ most medically fragile children.

From hospital rooms to therapy sessions, June and David walk every step of the journey with the children in their care. They are fierce advocates – ensuring each child gets the best equipment, specialized services, and opportunity to thrive. June collaborates with doctors, therapists, and schools to ensure each piece of the puzzle fits together perfectly to meet each child’s needs.

What sets David and June Simpson apart isn’t just the medical expertise they’ve gained over decades of caring for Arkansas’ most fragile children, it’s the way they wrap entire families in the same unwavering love. In their home, birth parents are always welcome. From hosting visitations to teaching them how to care for their child’s medical needs, the Simpson’s breathe life into families who are often on the brink of giving up.

When doctors personally recommend your home, it speaks volumes. When birth families keep you in their lives long after reunification, it speaks even louder. But when you’re still saying yes 35 years later – that’s extraordinary.

Congratulations, David and June Simpson, our Area 6 Foster Family of the Year!
