My parents were foster parents for over 25 years and during that time fostered over 20 + children. These kids come with all kinds of trauma, abuse, neglect, abandonment issues, etc.

I have first-hand experience with the way these children are pulled from their homes, daycare, and one was even found wandering alone in the street at the age of 3 years old. When his family was found they just said sorry we just can't have him anymore. It's heartbreaking to see these children wandering from house to house, some never end up getting adopted or being reunited with their family.

I am heavily involved in 4KIDS, I am a Champion 4KIDS which means I donate time and money every month to the organization. I see the value and support they provide to these foster children that have no one, and end up in the foster care system.

During this event, every $1 donated will be matched by a private donor up to $75,000 for this fundraiser.

4KIDS doesn't receive any government funding or assistance for their program, all of their programs are funded from private donations from people like me and you.

It would mean so much to me if this holiday season you would consider donating to this amazing, life-changing organization. Every $1 counts! No amount is too small <3.

Since 1997, 4KIDS has transformed the lives of over 28,000 children, teens, and young adults in crisis. When kids are removed from their homes due to abuse, abandonment, or neglect, 4KIDS is there with hope, homes, and healing.

4KIDS is propelled by the vision of a home for every child. Whether that is a child removed from their home for the first time, siblings who need to stay together, a young mom in an unplanned pregnancy who needs a refuge, or a young adult who needs a place to belong, 4KIDS is there with hope and homes.
