"You’re reminded of your role, and you begin to refocus on the best way to foster this child happily back into their parents’ arms. I’ve learned the only way to do this is to embrace the parents with the same open heart I offer their children."- Peter Mutabazi

"You love them through the nightmares and trauma. You hold them when their parents don't show up. You love them so dearly, because holding back would be so much less than they deserve.

We love autumn and aren't trying to jump through the seasons, but we are planners!

Winter holidays include sparkly, joyful decor for many. One of our favorite traditions is providing ornament boxes to each child who celebrates the season! Whether they decorate their room, a family tree or mantle, or even keep the box quietly in their dresser, we make sure every child has something special to make the season brighter.

Ornament boxes are not possible without your generous donations! If you are a crafter, a thrifter, or a shopper, send a few baubles our way for the upcoming season.

A few ideas/guidelines:
❄There are many different holidays and ways of celebrating. Consider items like snowflakes, ornaments depicting hobbies and activities, winter animals, and non-religious choices.
💙Gently used means it is not chipped, marked with another child's name, or broken. Please be respectful.
☃We try to get Ornament Boxes to children early in December, so we are asking for donations to be provided by December 1st if at all possible. Each box is customized for the child's interests, style, and celebrations, so it takes us a bit of time to put everything together and get it to the correct kiddo.

Reach out with any questions. Thank you so much for your support during every season🎉

For children in foster care, change can be difficult.

You can be the steady presence they need.
