Foster care & travel ✈️

When you’re caring for a child in foster care as a resource or kinship caregiver, even planning a trip can come with questions.

Can they travel with you? Do you need permission? What about out-of-state or international trips?

We’re breaking it down to help caregivers feel more confident navigating travel while fostering, so you can focus on creating safe, meaningful experiences together.

That’s a wrap on embrella’s The Otter Wears Prada 👜✨

Our first Designer Bag Bingo & Couture Tricky Tray was a great success, and we’re so grateful to everyone who came out to support us.

Thank you to our incredible board, staff, and volunteers who made the night possible, and to every guest who brought the energy, the style, and a little bit of luck 👀
From designer wins to unforgettable moments, the room was filled with excitement all night long.

Because of you, we raised critical funds to support children, youth, and families impacted by foster care across New Jersey.

A night of style with real impact. Truly unforgettable 💙

Keep an eye out for our next fundraiser and more ways to support children, youth, and families in our community ✨

❤️Meet Virginie Ligot, a dedicated embrella Heart to Heart mentor who has had 7 years experience as a foster parent.

❤️Our mentors provide encouragement, guidance, and a listening ear—because they understand the unique challenges caregivers face and know how meaningful support can be.

❤️At embrella, we believe no caregiver should navigate this journey alone. Heart to Heart Mentors help make that possible.
