This is what the Bridge to Hope Fund does. It fills the gaps that no one should have to fall through. It ensures that children, families, and individuals like Stacey receive the equipment, services, and care they desperately need—when every other door has been closed. Without your support, we can’t help children like Malachi whose story is featured on page six of this issue. The Bridge to Hope Fund’s assistance to Malachi and his family changed his life.

Please consider making a gift today to the Bridge to Hope Fund.

❤ $100 will help buy clothing: Many children in foster care arrive with few belongings. Essential items include new underwear, socks, pajamas, and seasonally appropriate clothes. ❤ $30 will help buy hygiene & personal care items: Basic toiletry kits (toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, deodorant) are crucial for young adults that have aged out of foster care and need help and support. ❤ $50 will purchase comfort & safety items: Items that provide comfort, such as stuffed animals, blankets, or pillows, help children in foster care and adoption with the transition into their new home. ❤ $250 will help buy equipment: Items needed for safety and medical needs can improve the lives of individuals like Stacey and Malachi. Your support allows us to keep saying “yes” when it matters most—for children, people, and families who need it.
