Houston, Texas and surrounding areas - we need YOUR help.
Covid-19 has changed so many things for so many of us - including those in #fostercare. With current guidelines limiting most social activities, we are unable to fundraise as we typically do each year for our kiddos. This has created a desperate need for SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
Pencils, erasers, spiral notebooks, crayons, folders, pens, etc - we are seeking donations of any and all school supplies. Can't help with supplies? Use the link below to make a monetary donation. But please be sure you specify HOUSTON under office location.
Or if you can't make a monetary donation - you can help us by sharing this post across social media! Help us start off this upcoming school year on the right foot for our kiddos by equipping them with the right tools to succeed!
Message us here on Facebook or email [email protected] to help today!
Happy Wednesday, guys! Sharing this post from our agency's homepage. Take a look for some great ideas on how to keep kids entertained while we continue to self-quarantine!
Happy Wednesday, y'all! While we continue to adjust to our new normal, we want to begin offering tips and ideas to keep your families entertained, engaged and otherwise distracted from the constant onslaught of COVID-19 news coverage.
We're starting off with a list of the best kids' tv shows and movies to stream! The best part? This great article from Mommy Poppins includes plenty of educational options too! Know of other great titles for families to check out? Drop some more ideas in the comment section below!

Our Houston branch office is right off I10 and North Post Oak Rd with easy access to all major freeways. The Houston team is continuously seeking support in the form of licensing new foster parents, monetary donations, volunteers for various events and above all your prayers. As an agency, we are stepping out and working on ways to ensure our children reach their maximum potential so they can be successful in care as well as when they become adults. We are committed to breaking the cycle of abuse, one child at a time.
