Birthday Club

We are not allowed to share pictures of children living in group foster care so let me tell you a little about the kids who received these gifts.
One gift went to a little boy who was born in Ethiopia. He eventually ended up in the foster care system after his Dad died of tuberculosis. He has a kind heart and a great sense of humor.
The other gift went to a teenage girl. Her mom gave birth to her at only 13 years old. After doing her best to take care of her for the first few years she then abandoned her.
Left without a mom and an unknown Dad, she entered the foster care system.

Christmas

72 gifts delivered to the 24 children living at HomeSafe group therapeutic foster care.
In addition to gifting them presents requested on their Santa list we treated all the children and staff to a group movie trip. All expenses  covered including the snack counter!
This has become a HomeSafe tradition provided annually by Kindness Shared.

Pack a Sack

Pack a Sack provides food on the weekends during the school year to children who count on free breakfast and lunch on the school days.
On the weekends they count on Kindness Shared. Each bag of food goes out with a book, a gift, a hygiene kit and of course, a happy note.
This Christmas not only did we supply food for Christmas dinner and Winter break but we also provided Christmas gifts.

Birthday Club

Let me share with you a little about the kids who have December Birthdays.
The gift in the middle is going to a boy who is very slow to warm up and trust people.
He has been in the foster care system most of his life.
His birthday sponsor brought joy to his birthday by gifting him Nike Slides and a LEGO set.
Jasmine has been exposed to trauma most of her life. While getting the therapeutic care she needs at HomeSafe she enjoys listening to music and socializing with her friends.
Dana, who is on the Autism spectrum, needed to be removed from her parental home. Now she is getting the therapeutic care she needs at HomeSafe.
She is a very sweet girl, who is appreciative of not just the gifts but the love behind it.

Summer Teddy Bear Program collects donations from people who want to sponsor a NEW Teddy Bear to get into the arms of a child in need via the Mobile Crisis Van at South County Mental Health Clinic.  We guarantee SCMHC, for health and allergy reasons, that our bears are new and meet all fire and safety ratings.   

However, over the summer we have had people who have donated to Kindness Shared their USED Teddy Bears as well.  Kindness Shared is happy to say these used stuffed animals will be donated and they will become part of  "The Teddy Bear Brigade".  They will be providing comfort and love to children in extreme poverty or victims of natural disasters.

Project Positive Fall 2017

What a happy experience to deliver this Kindness Box to HomeSafe.

Our first project with HomeSafe was this Fall ... Project Positive. This was the first of many to come. Kindness Shared does a lot of research to make sure your donations are well spent and deliver an impact. The Teenage boys living in HomeSafe group foster care are a very deserving group and are working hard to over come the horrible circumstances that they have been dealt in life. The women in this picture work day in and day out to help the boys emotionally and mentally while providing a loving family atmosphere. These ladies do it all for the right reasons.
We look forward to helping show these boys that they matter and to contribute to enrich their lives with future projects.

100 gifts delivered to HomeSafe to be placed out for the boys on Christmas Morning. This was pure joy. From collecting gifts, to wrapping them, to dropping off the gifts to the staff and waiting to hear how happy the kids were Christmas morning. The icing on the cake was that Christmas Day we were able to send the entire group home on a  trip to the movies complete with movie theater snacks and all.
