Giving to children in foster care
Foster Hope is a registered charity in New Zealand which provides the basics for children going into foster care.
Are you aware that many foster children arrive at their new placements with nothing but the clothes on their backs or with their belongings in a black rubbish sack?
Let’s change this!
We want these children to know that someone out there cares about them. No child should be made to feel like their belongings are “rubbish” and Caregivers should be able to focus on the emotional needs when a child arrives, rather than having to run around doing last minute/late night shopping.
We make up kits to be given to children when they are removed from their homes, with a backpack and a carry all bag containing hygiene products (toothpaste, shampoo etc) and some items that will show them they are loved (books, soft toys etc) but we need your help!
We're excited that you can join us as we undertake this journey to change the lives of many children currently in foster care.
We are selling new children's books, kid's safety vests and fleece neck socks on Trade Me as a fundraiser so please view our listings here if you would like to support us.
We have a goal of 1,000 kits by the end of 2010. We have completed 197 kits as of the 8/6/2010.
