We couldn’t do this without so many people. These toys will go to foster children during 2026. When they get pulled out of their houses they are often scared and sad. These toys will be given to them so your donations literally give SMILES to children, through no fault of their own, are put in a system where the Government is in charge of raising them until they are adopted or reunited with the family who’s neglect or abuse landed them in Foster Care. You are all angels. Thank you.

donate if you can. any amount is amazing! thanks. 🙂

FOSTER YOUR DREAM GETS HAND MADE HATS!

Our Angel Candy Martinez and her group of amazing creators crochet and knit hats! So in the throes of winter our children are delighted by the warmth and colors of these vibrant hats and a scarf or two!

It’s so special because they are HOME MADE. It is interesting to watch as the kids understand and cherish that someone cared enough to MAKE SOMETHING BY HAND and GIVE IT TO THEM. Perhaps it’s because each one looks unique (like they are) and feels like love and a soft hug!

We can’t show their faces because their parents would have to consent and the children are not living with their parents….hence their journey thru foster care! But all agreed to this fun picture. I think you can see their joy thru the yarn! 🙂

Thank you so much to all the kind folks who make these and donate them to our fantastic children. You’re amazing!
