Show kids and families they’re not alone

Right now, the largest refugee crisis in history continues to force families from their homes and separate children from their parents. The opioid epidemic is leaving children scared and alone. Families are pulled apart by mental health challenges, low income, and cycles of generational trauma.

Every dollar you raise means support to a struggling family, healing to a recovering mother, or love and safety to a hurting child. From foster care and adoption to family preservation, substance use recovery, and refugee services, we’re standing in the gap for those in need—and we need your help. You can wrap a community of support around children and families who have no one else. You can show them they aren’t alone. And, together, we can change the world through family.
