We are a CHAMPIONS FOR KIDS!
This year we are hiking to raise awareness and be a part of the solution supporting older kids in foster care here in the Houston area! Kids like Julissa in the photo above who Dawn and I met and are hosting through Kidsave.
Imagine growing up without the love and support of family to guide you through life. That’s the stark reality for over 440,000 children in foster care programs in the US including over 2500 in the Houston area. Over a quarter of those kids are longing for adoptive families.
These are kids who, through no fault of their own, have found themselves in a system that – try as it might – often falls short.
These are kids who have had opportunities and the shot at a real future taken away from them by the actions of others.
These are kids who just need a first chance at finding happiness and the love of family.
We want to give kids the chance to start a new chapter and live a life of hope, love, and acceptance!

Your support enables Kidsave to find forever families for all kids, everywhere. Because of people just like you and me, who care deeply about kids who need families, Kidsave has been able to 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, forgotten kids in foster care 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.
