Be a CHAMPION FOR KIDS!

This year, our family -- Toni, Jon, Blaine, Sammy, Izzy, and our puppy Joy (pictured above as our team mascot) --  is participating in Kidsave's Hike with Your Heart campaign to raise awareness and help support older kids in foster care here in the US and in orphanages around the world.  Our family goal is to raise $1,200 to support Kidsave’s amazing programs - please help us!

Did you know that over 440,000 kids in the US and 8 million worldwide are in child welfare systems like foster programs and orphanages?  In the US, Kidsave is helping older, forgotten kids in foster care in Los Angeles and Houston find adoptive parents and lasting connections to caring adults.  What's more, Kidsave has trained governments and social workers in the US and abroad on how to implement its 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.  Since 1999, this work has positively impacted the lives of well over 560,000 children worldwide.

Kidsave's important work helps kids just like Julie, who was adopted (via Zoom, of course) in the midst of lockdown in Dec. 2020 after being in foster care for four years.  Julie met her mom and dad, Kelly and Delaney, through Kidsave's Weekend Miracles program.  Their journey as a family was captured in "The Day I Picked My Parents" documentary series (streaming now on Hulu and A&E). 

Please donate now to our team's Hike with Your Heart fund to support Kidsave's ultimate mission of finding forever families for all kids, everywhere.
