Hike With Your Heart 2024 - Houston

Samjam Hallelujah Hikers

Why are we doing this?

Our next steps can change the course for a kid in foster care!

We are building a team to bring change, hope, and the chance for kids to start a new chapter and live a life of love and acceptance!

Over 440,000 kids in the U.S. and 8 million worldwide are in child welfare systems like foster care programs and orphanages. That’s why we need YOU to lace up, grab a water bottle and sign up to be a hiker - use the button on the right today! You can join us from anywhere in the world as we work to raise funds and reach our goal of our team fundraising goal to support life-changing Kidsave programs.

Every dollar we raise can have a ripple effect for kids looking for a forever family.  For three weeks, Kidsave worked to help the children find a forever family in the U.S. as efforts to find a home in their own country had failed. Kids like Sebastian. When the Barkeys and their chidlren met Sebastian, their world changed.  

Sebastian arrived for a three-week visit, and as they traveled around the Barkey’s town, something felt right. For Sebastian, these experiences weren’t just moments in time but glimpses into a future filled with love and belonging. The Barkey family made the decision to adopt Sebastian!  

Sebastian’s journey is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of love to transcend borders and languages. Help us create moments like these for more kids in the U.S. and around the world.  

You can read more about Sebastian when he shared his story at Kidsave's 25th Anniversary Gala. 

Help us create moments like these for more kids in the U.S. and around the world.

Kidsave is a registered 501(c)(3) that gives older kids in foster care an opportunity to find connections their way. By shining a light on them and giving them the opportunity to meet and get to know adults who will become lifelong mentors or adoptive parents, we empower them with a voice and a choice in who they connect with and who becomes their family.

These kids form meaningful, trusting, and lasting connections with adults who commit to being there for them, no matter what.

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