We're fundraising for Hands of Hope because every child deserves a safe and loving home.
Our journey with Hands of Hope started in April 2021, when we began fostering 13 month old twins. We didn't have kids of our own at that time, and it was a major change in our lives! We were blessed with a Care Community- a group of about 10 people who supported our family with prayer, weekly meals, and childcare for a full year. That type of wrap around support was invaluable, and helped us to keep our focus on our foster children.
Since then Kenny has joined the board for HoH, and Emily heads up the Care Community ministry at our church. We'd love for you to join us in supporting Hands of Hope during this years fundraiser, please reach out to either of us if you want to learn more or get connected as well!
Hands of Hope exists to mobilize churches, organizations, and individuals to build a village of care around foster, adoptive, biological, kinship families, and children’s homes so every child can have a safe and loving home.
Right now, the need is urgent. Children in our state and around the world are without safe, stable homes, and families are struggling to access the support they need. As of December 2025, over 13,000 children are in foster care in Indiana, nearly half of new foster parents stop fostering within their first year, and 153 million children worldwide are orphans.
Hands of Hope responds by equipping churches, organizations and individuals to support foster and kinship families with practical help and encouragement, provide financial support for adoptive families, offer resources to biological families so children can remain safely in their homes whenever possible, and partner with trusted children’s homes locally and globally.
Thank you for being part of this work. Your gift helps build a village of care where children can truly thrive.
