The Department of Human Services is looking for $250 in visa gift cards to help fund a set of DNA tests for two youths in foster care. Funding DNA and ancestry tests for the youths in foster care would provide them with a deeper understanding of their heritage and identity. For many young people in foster homes, the search for a connection to their roots can be an essential part of their emotional and psychological development. By supporting these tests, we can empower them with knowledge of their familial background, helping them to build a stronger sense of self and fostering a sense of belonging and connection to their cultural history. This gesture could offer them an invaluable opportunity to embrace their unique heritage, potentially easing feelings of disconnection and uncertainty about their past.

Our foster family of 7 with a baby on the way is in need of a meal train the week their baby is born (due date is May 3rd).

This will make a tremendous difference for this family as they transition into life with a newborn.
