Provide stability and care for children whose families are facing a crisis. You can make a difference by becoming a host family—or by supporting host families with essential items and encouragement.
When a parent has nowhere to turn, we can come alongside them with compassion and practical help. By opening your home temporarily to a vulnerable child, you offer a safe, nurturing environment while their parents work through challenging circumstances. With proper training and support, you’ll serve as an extended family—giving both the child and parent hope and peace of mind. Once the situation is stabilized, families are joyfully reunited.
