I am a CHAMPION FOR KIDS!

This year I am hiking to raise awareness and be a part of the solution supporting older kids in foster care here in the US and in orphanages around the world!

My personal goal is to raise $1000 to support Kidsave’s amazing programs. Over 440,000 kids in the US and 8 million worldwide are in child welfare systems like foster programs and orphanages. 

Why we volunteer with Kidsave is because they help pair kids in foster care with mentors or potential adoptive families by giving the child a choice in who they want to get to know better. In a system where they rarely get a choice, they initiate if they want to move into a hosting relationship (and the adults need to agree as well) to start meeting regularly. Monthly programs facilitate meeting in large groups for both kids and adults to get to know each other.

Your support enables Kidsave to find forever families and train governments and social workers in the US and abroad in implementing the Family Visit Model. 

Working in partnership with governments and local non-profits, Kidsave’s model inspires communities to become part of the solution and is at work on four continents.  

In the US, we are helping older kids in foster care in Los Angeles and Houston find adoptive parents and lasting connections to caring adults.

Since 1999, this work has positively impacted the lives of well over 560,000 children worldwide.
