Foster Champs of Maple Valley hasn't added a story.
Hi. My name is Kim Emmons and I run a non profit called Foster Champs. Foster Champs was established in 2012 when my family became a licensed foster home. We immediately were shocked at how little support kids in care get both from the State and the local community. I started sharing our experiences and we instantly began building community around these kids. Foster kids find themselves living in a foster home away from thier biological family for reasons that are both out of their control and not understood by them.
Through our community we bring is new shoes, supplies for school, and supplies for birthdays and other special events throughout the year that are not funded by the State. Thanks to Maple Valley Rotary, the foster children in our area no longer move from home to home in trash bags. Rotary provides a duffel bag to every foster child to ease the pain of the many moves they will experience.
We have many celebrations throughout the year that brings our families together and many of our foster kids say that they finally feel like they belong somewhere. This is all because of the kind hearts that hear our story. We have amazing ideas for the future to make it even better for the foster kids. Your contribution will not only help us sustain the level of service but help us add more services for the kids.
Donations large and small all add up! $5 donation is appreciated as much as a $5,000 donation because we understand the value of synergy. The more hands that come together the more love our kids will feel. A donation of $500 or more will put you on our 2017 tshirt that we will have produced the first part of June and all our families and volunteers will be wearing these shirts at all of our events throughout the year. We have 9 events June through December and a number of speaking events that we will wear the shirts at as well.
Be a part of the change our world so desperately needs!
