When life is in constant transition as the kids in these homes come and go and work through trauma, the little things can make a huge difference. We mobilize volunteers to support foster/adoptive families in relational and practical ways. RELATIONAL SUPPORT “This is so isolating. I feel so alone.” – Burnt out foster parent Relationships can change everything. Having the courage to step into that isolation, not because we fully understand, but because we can help someone feel a little less alone is what we do at Rise. Encouraging notes, coffee dates, listening, sending funny gifs, and simply stepping into a relationship with those who have said yes. PRACTICAL SUPPORT Meeting the family where they are and giving them one less thing to think about so they can focus on loving the child in their care. Meals. Coffee. Babysitting for a date night. House Cleaning. Laundry. Yard Work. Painting. Gift Cards. Also, did we mention coffee? And so much more! LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP |
We Exist to Support Foster and Adoptive Families with the Goal of Seeing Every Child Rise to their Full Potential.
In 2018, Sarah {our Executive Director}, was made aware of a serious issue surrounding her local community - the desperate need for foster families to stay certified and more families to step up to fostering. After years of coffee meeting, reading books, listening to others - Sarah realized that there were 2 fundamental reasons people stepped away from fostering. 1. It was hard, and 2. It was isolating.
While Sarah couldn't do anything about the first problem - parenting is hard, but parenting children who have experienced major trauma is exponentially harder - she could help make it feel less alone by stepping into relationships with these parents with intentionality, and she could surround them with people who care. She realized that when parents feel supported, everyone in the house can grow, heal, and truly rise to their fullest potential.
