Hike With Your Heart 2025 - Houston ○ FTI on Foot for Families
Vanessa Ray
Let’s raise money together for the kids who will be the leaders of tomorrow!
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 $1500 (although I know we will easily raise more) 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.
I want to give kids the chance to start a new chapter and live a life of hope, love, and acceptance!
Kids just like Luna who was adopted in January 2024 after being in foster care for years.
Luna met her Mom and Dad, Stuart and Sydney, through our Weekend Miracles program at our Hike event in 2022. It was an instant connection! We are so happy to see them celebrating every day together as a forever family. Read more about Luna’s adoption story!

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 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.
