Helping a Family Stay Together
A local couple recently took in the man’s young son after the child’s mother was incarcerated. Without hesitation, they stepped up to provide stability and care—doing everything they could to keep him from entering the foster care system. Their willingness to open their home has given this child a chance to remain with family and avoid further trauma during an already difficult time.
The Fostering Hope Closet was able to provide a dresser and a platform bed, helping ensure the child had a safe place to sleep and a space of his own. But the family is still in need of end tables and dining room chairs to create a more functional and welcoming home environment.
These may seem like simple household items, but for this family, they represent much more. Dining room chairs will allow the family to share meals together—creating structure, connection, and a sense of normalcy for a child adjusting to a new home. End tables will help the family organize their space and provide a stable, comfortable setting as they settle into this new chapter.
Your support can help preserve this family, meet basic needs, and prevent a child from entering foster care—all by helping furnish a safe and nurturing home.
