OUR REASON: Our faith inspires us to stand for children, in Middle Tennessee and around the world. Start your fundraising page or GIVE today and be sure to SHARE YOUR REASON for supporting Bethany.

When a woman is pregnant and doesn't know where to turn, she can always connect with Bethany. We help thousands of expectant parents every year, of all ages and backgrounds, and empower them to make a plan. Only they can make the decision, but they don't have to make it alone.

When a family is in crisis, kids can become vulnerable to neglect and abuse. No family should experience this. Through the Safe Families ministry, volunteer Host Families offer loving care to parents, watching over their children while the parents regain stability.

While fostering can be difficult, its also remarkably rewarding. For foster families around the world opening their hearts and homes to children, we seek to provide ongoing support every step of the way. We also support the parents and help them and their children stay connected. Foster care is meant to be temporary. Our primary goal is reuniting a child with their biological family.

Unaccompanied children entering the U.S. need what all children need a loving environment where they are cared for and safe. But it can take a few months until they're reunited with their family. That's why we offer transitional foster care.

Ways your gift can make an impact:

- $25 provides transportation or a gas card

- $30 provides cell phone assistance

- $50 can help to provide groceries for a week

- $95 provides one counseling session for an expectant parent

- $350 helps with housing assistance for a week

Our world knows a million ways to break, but we get through the hardest times together. And together, we can change the world through family.
