The last several months have demonstrated the need for families who foster or adopt to find community, encouragement, and support.
Nearly 130 people have signed up to attend the Family Gathering at just the Joliet location!
Families need support that comes in the form of practical parenting skills, quality adoption-competent therapy, respite care (babysitting), and a community who understands the unique challenges they face.
LoveMoves.Us provides the community and parent training families need.
So what's next?
A new therapy program has already been piloted. It began this past November. An adoption-competent therapist who understands complex developmental trauma was contracted to commute to the home of one family to provide weekly therapy for the entire family.
This pilot program was funded $7,400 by one generous donor who understands the complexity of parenting a child who has been adopted and believes in the transformation that can happen when a family has access to quality therapy.
MORE FAMILIES NEED THIS KIND OF CARE & SUPPORT.
A church in Plainfield gave the gift of a Parents’ Night Out in June.
Every family who was able to attend expressed their gratitude for this wonderful service that provided a break & respite care for them. The children had a great time and expressed their gratitude for the fun they had. They also expressed their sadness when the night was over.
Getting volunteers for this was no easy task. Volunteers are harder and harder to come by. But the impact you can make & fulfillment you receive from serving a few hours a month is often underestimated.
MORE FAMILIES NEED THIS KIND OF CARE & SUPPORT.
In the past few weeks I’ve personally encountered families who are struggling.
LoveMoves.Us provides parents with practical tools to help them parent their child in a way that equips them to overcome the challenges they face.
The way forward is through creating a culture of care, informed on complex developmental trauma, equipped with tools to care for kids that builds trust, drives connection and eliminates fear.
Equipping several parents, social workers & therapists will expand LoveMoves.Us programs, and impact hundreds more families. It’s going to be a big investment, but it will be worth it.
Will you join in fighting for the hearts of children & equipping their families to flourish?
WILL YOU GIVE TO PROVIDE THE INVESTMENT NEEDED!
Ongoing generosity will provide the training for parents, social workers and therapists to equip and support parents caring for vulnerable children.
Small financial investments will change the lives of children. It will bring welcome relief to a family. It will support equip and encourage parents to give their child what they need.
Would you give a special gift or become a monthly partner by giving $10 or $20 a month?
You would become part of the army of support - making sure children and families find community, encouragement, and support!
