Children served in Louisiana Foster Care in 2019
Kids enter foster care at all ages and all times of day and night. Some are newborns straight from the hospital, and some are 18 years old trying to finish high school. These children have often experienced much brokenness, living with addicts, neglect and abuse. Children who find themselves being removed from their homes by no fault of their own are in dire need of both physical and emotional help during this crisis. Regardless of age, the first night away from home is the hardest.

KC continued purchasing items with her own money and delivering them out of the trunk of her car.
After received a foster placement of two siblings with nothing more than the shirts on their backs, she realized the first night in foster care for a young child could be so much better.
Realizing that trying to help nearly 5,000 placements a year was impossible for one person, KC asked for help.
