Kids in Care Total

Real Kids. Right Now. Who Need Us.

In 2025, we brought you the stories of 401 kids that for a variety of reasons have seen their lives collide with the foster care system. We were able to recommend homes for 68 of these kids and several more found families through our communication efforts. As we’ve brought you these stories, God has begun to stir the hearts of His people in new ways and seeds have been planted that He is continuing to grow. But the work is not done. There are still too many kids who need us and we are praying for an army of God’s people, and churches wrapping support around them, as we seek to shine even more light into the darkness of the foster care system.
