Your Support... Means Everything
For many foster children, life is filled with continual change and uncertainty. Most have come from abusive and broken homes. Some of these children are so young, the idea of suddenly being shuffled to a stranger's home is scarier than the brutal reality they may be facing at home. We want to soften this blow. We want to let them know people care. These children may have come from difficult beginnings, but we want every foster child to know that there are people out there rooting for them. Many of them feel rejected and thrown away. We want to empower them with pride and the gift of brand new belongings.
