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 $500 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.
