Silas is ready for another school year! Because of your generosity, we were able to give out over 500 backpacks at the Broward, Palm Beach, and Treasure Coast 4KIDS Back to School Bashes. Packed with all the essentials, these backpacks were a small and tangible way to bless our foster and adoptive children big time.

Thanks to friends of 4KIDS like you, Lisa, one of our residential house parents, was able to take her oldest foster son to Disney for the first time! It had always been a dream of his to meet Mickey and visit the castle. On the ride home, he even drew a sweet photo of him and Lisa holding hands at the park. Through memories like this, our kids are learning to form strong and loving bonds again.

The Wallace family has seen huge strides in their fostering since taking EPIC training. When a sibling group of three boys came into their home, 4KIDS clinical team worked alongside them to help them better connect with the boys and begin to teach them healthy attachment and self-regulation. Without your support, this kind of therapeutic intervention in our foster homes would not be possible!

For Sadiki, being a part of Independent Living (SOSI) has been a time of growth and transformation. Currently, he is in his second semester of college and on his way to becoming a civil engineer. He shared with us that what he values about SOSI is the wisdom and guidance he gets from his resident advisors. We're so grateful that your partnership is changing the trajectory of lives like his!

Nicole just turned 19 years old! When she told our His Caring Place team that she had never had a birthday cake before, they went above and beyond to make her feel extra celebrated.
