If you wouldn’t mind helping me help kids in need of parents find permanent loving families, there is a fun event coming up to do that, and I’d be grateful for your support.

It’s Kidsave’s annual “Hike with your Heart.” We will hike (9:30 a.m. Sat. Oct. 25, Smithsonian Metro stop).

Please join us,  or just make a small donation if you can. I am grateful for any support!

Kidsave runs successful, highly personalized programs that help older kids in US foster care (in VA, CA, TX) and in orphanages (in Ukraine and Sierra Leone) find adoptive parents and lasting connections to caring adults.

For example, Luna met her Mom and Dad, Stuart and Sydney, through our Weekend Miracles program at our Hike event in 2022. Read their delightful story here: https://www.kidsave.org/written-in-the-stars/ 

With more than 8 million children worldwide in child welfare systems, Kidsave breaks through with a proven program, giving kids the chance to start a new chapter and live a life of hope, love, and acceptance!

Kidsave also trains governments and social workers in the US and abroad how to implement the Family Visit Model.  Working in partnership with governments and local non-profits, Kidsave’s model inspires communities to become part of the solution -- a model at work on four continents.  

It's impossible to know the actual number, but since 1999, this work has positively impacted the lives of well over 560,000 children worldwide.

This is a very solid organization doing great work -- worthy of our support!

THANK YOU for your consideration and support!

With gratitude,

Bonnie
