Dear Foster Kids KC Community, 

 July has been an incredibly active month for Foster Kids KC! We are thrilled to share that we delivered 17 kits filled with essential items directly to the doorsteps of foster families who recently welcomed new additions into their homes. These kits are vital in helping families adjust to the new dynamics and ensure that every child feels supported and cared for. 

 Our laundry and cleaning services continue to be a tremendous success, benefiting both the children in foster care and their busy families. We are committed to alleviating some of the pressures these families face, and the positive feedback we receive motivates us to keep going. 

 We’d like to highlight our “Flower Pot Fund,” named after our founder's grandfather, who always kept a little money stashed away in a flower pot for  emergencies. This fund allows us to utilize extra resources to provide essential items for families that go beyond our regular kit deliveries.

 In July, we were privileged to assist a family that welcomed two babies with special needs while already caring for another young child. They urgently needed a triple stroller to ensure they could safely transport all three children. Additionally, we provided a wheelchair to a young girl in foster care with limited mobility. 

This will make it much easier for her to attend doctor appointments and enjoy outings with her family. We also sent a grocery gift card to a growing foster family with six teenage boys, recognizing the unique challenges they face in providing for their household. 

 Thank you for your generous contributions to our mission. Your support is invaluable, and we are immensely grateful for the difference you make in the lives of foster children and families in our community. 

We would love to have you join us for the Foster Kids KC Golf  Tournament on October 11, 2024! More information on the webiste.
