Children by Age
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.

Why does financial support matter?
Each financial gift allows Restore to take care of foster families so they can help children heal. It costs $1,200 to support one child in a Restore Network home for a year. Wrap-around support for a Restore Network family looks like:
Guidance
The mentoring and support from a Restore County Director during the entire journey.
Practical Resources
Unlimited access to trauma-informed resources.
Community
A network of foster parents doing life together so a family is never, ever alone.
Celebrations
Invitations to parties and events created to provide fun for the children and respite for the family.
Meals
Food brought to the family when a child is placed in their home.
Clothing & Supplies
Material support like cribs, clothes and car seats when a child is placed in a Restore home.
Advocacy
Unwavering help with advocacy, should things get complicated with the system.
Prayer
Intentional, on-going prayer for the child and family.
