At Kidsave, we are driven by the simple belief that every child, everywhere, deserves to grow up with the support of a loving, caring family. For older kids in foster care, scared of aging out alone, this can sometimes feel like an impossible wish. We’re here to change that. With your support, our innovative programs both here and abroad give older kids in foster care a voice and a choice in who they get to know and who will ultimately become their forever family. And with an estimated 8 million children living in institutional care worldwide and more than 440,000 children in foster care here in the U.S., the need has never been greater. Join us in becoming a champion for older kids in care. Spread the word, lend a hand, become a mentor, a host, or adoptive family and let’s give all kids the chance to thrive in loving, supportive homes.
