Wish List Items

Donate items that reflect the unique services we provide to children on their path to healing.

We like to provide child-friendly snacks and refreshments to help children feel more comfortable.

Sometimes children must be placed in foster care for their protection. These children will often go to their new homes with only the clothes on their backs. When this happens, we provide a backpack of basic supplies.

Why new items?

Many of the children we see have never had new clothing, or new shoes. When we are able to give those items to a child, it helps their self-esteem. 

They already feel different, and having a pair of new shoes, and/or clothing, can help them fit in, and not feel like they stick out.

Your generosity ensures that our services support children in the best way possible.
Thank you for your support.
