Our Mission

To meet identified needs of children and youth who experience state or tribal foster care across New Mexico in order to strengthen their sense of community and help them thrive.

For Foster Children & Parents

How can we help? We have several support programs to help with items, experiences, and birthday celebrations. Don’t see what you need? Reach out! We’ll work to connect with someone who can or develop a new program to address the need.

For Donors

A foster parent who has received support from contributions like yours wrote us: “It’s truly an honor to welcome very frightened kids into our family…. We appreciate that we do not need to do this alone but have caring people who help.” Find out more about how you can help to build that caring community for those in foster care.
