Giving Tuesday — Support Our Angel Tree Today! ❤️

Today for Giving Tuesday, Friends 4 Open Hearts invites you to choose an Angel from our Christmas Angel Tree and help make the season brighter for children and youth in foster care.

Each Angel has three hand-selected wishes chosen by the child — giving them the joy of creating their own Christmas list and receiving exactly what they hoped for.

Your generosity today can bring comfort, hope, and a little Christmas magic to a child who truly deserves it.

🎓 Help Us Set Up An Amazing Young Lady’s First Dorm Room! 🛏️

We have a special young lady who has aged out of foster care and is taking her first big step toward independence — starting college! ❤️ She’s worked so hard to get here, and now we want to make sure she has everything she needs to feel at home in her dorm.

We’ve created an Amazon Wish List with essential dorm items — and we’re asking for your support. Even choosing just one item will make a huge difference in helping her start this next chapter with comfort and confidence.

Click here to shop her wish list:

Every gift, big or small, is a reminder that she is seen, valued, and supported. Thank you for being part of her journey! ❤️🩵

Open Your Heart and Home: Become a Foster Parent!

Are you ready to make a lasting impact in the lives of deserving youth and teens? We are seeking compassionate families and individuals in the North Texas area who are willing to open their hearts and homes.

Foster care is not just about providing shelter; it’s about offering love, stability, and a sense of belonging to those that need it most. By becoming a foster parent, you can help change a child’s future and create a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Join us in changing lives! Contact us today!
