Dear John,

September is National Kinship Care Month. Did you know that across the nation, 4% of all kids — more than 2.6 million children — are in kinship care? In this arrangement, relatives raise kids when their parents cannot care for them. Kinship care is special in my heart as my husband, and I provided this care for our wonderful grandchildren. Was it always easy? No. But good things in life are not easy. They require care and attention and are so worth it. Even as September comes to a close, consider where you may fall in the spectrum of care for vulnerable children and reach out to offer support or receive support. Life’s journey is easier when we walk the road together.

Your friend,

Robyn Chambers
Executive Director, Advocacy for Children

Why kinship care and foster care are so important
With the power of storytelling, our friends at the Reel Hope Project connect vulnerable kids with their forever families. Ann Marie Root, Rocky Mountain Regional Lead for Reel Hope explains, “We can see God’s amazing hand putting in these kids – who might have experienced the most horrific things in the world – to know still and desire that unconditional love.”

Give a Child in Foster Care Hope and Dignity
Most kids in foster care are forced to use trash bags to move. You can help give a child something to call their own!

Two intrepid sleuths with very sleuth-y names, Inspector Stoppard and Constable Stalker, are on the case! Read the review.
