I am a CHAMPION FOR KIDS!
We are in our 7th year (given the 2020 gap year) for our hike. Kidsave is a very special organization. They create opportunities for kids to experience support and love. They change the complete trajectory of a childs life, creating the possibility for the child to be the best version of themselves.
It is hard to imagine doing better than that, yet Kidsave has. With the war in Ukraine, Kidsave has stepped up to the challenge, converting their small operation there into a rescue and supply mission. As of my writing of this page, they have rescue over 23,000 people and delivered over 460 tons of humanitarian aid. Yes, is said TONS. WOW!
Here is your chance to connect with and help Kidsave help all these kids. Please come join us for the hike, create your own team and fundraise, and/or donate here. Whatever feels good for you, please do. It is for the kids.
My personal goal is to raise $5000 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 Julie who was adopted (via Zoom of course) in the midst of lockdown this past December 2020 after being in foster care for four years.
Julie met her Mom and Dad, Kelly and Delaney through our Weekend Miracles program and their journey as a blossoming family was captured in The Day I Picked My Parents documentary series (which you can watch now on Hulu and A&E).
We are so happy to see them celebrating every day together as a forever family. See more about Julie’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.
