May I adopt this tag for this child?
I’m thankful for the virtual request option. I was able to help a child because of this option - also they allow for Amazon purchases to be sent right to their facility, just include the case #. For everyone who’s crazy busy, I still believe we all have a good heart and want to help, consider reaching out to the email above and get a virtual tag.
The mom has her demons to fight, this child is now for the community to nurture, protect and show that there is caring and love in this world and also just for him
Man I really want to hug this baby. I hope someone is loving on him right now 😢. Comforting him
I hope for a quick recovery emotional and mental!

Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child. I love this program, being able to adopt a tag 😍

I saw this and I was thinking surely I’m not reading that right. 😭😭😭 so many women who would love to be Moms and for some reason cannot. So heartbreaking.
Pretty sure I’m not the only one that wants to find his mother. 🤬

Fun Fact 2: We wear costumes and play games at the crisis intervention center frequently. Each costume and game aligns with a program theme. Our programs have both psychological and educational components to help children through their healing process. For many of the children we serve, it is the first time they have had the opportunity to play and be silly, without fear of being harmed.
Earlier in the year, children came in for services and were greeted by team members dressed as bees. As they were led to the program room, they journeyed through a Spring-like hallway lined with pop-out bee hives. Each cell contained a prize. The program was a life lesson about how we can help one another and ourselves through our healing process. The costumes and games offered unpredictable moments of joy for those we serve- it was also a chance to be kids.
So when you visit our wishlist, don’t be surprised when you see unique items such as prize eggs when Easter has passed. Earlier in the year, a ream of neon green paper helped us transform our hallways into a valley for butterflies. We dressed the part for that too. 🙂
