If you happen to have any new, unopened toys, teen toiletries, new blankets, or other unused gifts this holiday season, we would be so grateful if you’d consider donating them. We’ll make sure they go directly to some wonderful kiddos who could truly use a little extra joy right now.

Foster programs across Georgia have been facing an especially difficult few months, and this holiday season will be challenging for many families. We work with foster children and kids in tough circumstances throughout the year, and being able to brighten their holidays is truly a blessing.

Thank you so much for any support you’re able to give. Your kindness means more than you know. ❤️

Hi friends, we have marked a few kiddos off of our list but still have many kids and wishes we need help with granting 🎄🎄 If you’d like to donate this season, I’d love to hear from you. I have a wishlist of special wants and needs for the kids, and your generosity can make their holidays truly bright.

You’re also welcome to give any gift from the heart, and we’ll make sure it finds its way to the child it’s meant for. As always, cash and gift card donations are deeply appreciated, and every single penny goes directly toward fulfilling these wishlist items.

Thank you for helping bring joy and warmth to families who need it most this holiday season. 🎄✨

Kindness and mindfulness. The holidays can be a stressful time for many, remember that some of the best gifts you can give to your children are the lessons and memories you pass down to them. 🎄

I try to be mindful of the moments that tempt my frustration.

Messes can be cleaned.
Objects can be fixed or replaced.
Nothing spilled or shattered in a home is ever as fragile as a child’s sense of self.

The words that cut us when we were young — the tones that made us shrink, the reactions that taught us to fear mistakes — those are the things that linger far longer than any broken plate.

This is where the cycle asks us to wake up.
To choose presence over impulse.
To remember that our voice becomes their inner voice.

But this isn’t about perfection — it’s about awareness.

We all lose our patience. We all say things we wish we could take back. What matters is noticing, repairing, and choosing differently the next time.

Because every softened reaction, every moment of gentleness, every chance we take to try again… is a quiet way of rewriting the story — for them, and for us.

So speak with intention.
Speak with steadiness.
Speak with love —
especially when it’s hardest to do so.

Because the spilled milk, the broken glass, the toppled chair — those things are gone in minutes.

But the way we make them feel in those moments — that stays.

Those are the moments they’ll carry with them long after the mess is gone. ❤️

Kurt Vonnegut /
"You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society."
"Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., (born Nov. 11, 1922, Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.—died April 11, 2007, New York, N.Y.), U.S. novelist. He attended Cornell University and the University of Chicago. Captured by the Germans during World War II, he also survived the Allied firebombing of Dresden, an experience he made part of his novel Slaughterhouse-Five (1969; film, 1972). His pessimistic and satirical novels use fantasy and science fiction to highlight the horrors and ironies of 20th-century civilization. They include Player Piano (1952), Cat’s Cradle (1963), Breakfast of Champions (1973), Galápagos (1985), and Timequake (1997). A Man Without a Country (2005) is a collection of essays and speeches. Vonnegut also wrote plays and short stories.

So far this year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our neighbors, friends, and community, we’ve been able to provide more than 50 food boxes filled with pantry staples, shelf-stable items, and lots of yummy goodies for the families and children we serve.

And the year isn’t over yet! We are continuing to collect pantry staples, canned goods, shelf-stable items, and kid-friendly snacks for toddlers and children of all ages. We are also gathering grocery gift cards and Thanksgiving dinner essentials to help families enjoy a warm and stress-free holiday season.

Please keep an eye out—our annual Christmas Gift Drive details will be shared early next week!

Thank you for helping us spread kindness and support throughout our community. Your generosity truly makes a difference. ❤️
