Helping Foster Children of Acadiana

Donate a Gift


Our Mission Statement

Our goal is to raise public awareness about the need for foster and adoptive families for children and to provide unexpected blessings for the foster children in the Acadiana and surrounding areas.

We are dedicated to making foster children in Acadiana feel extra special at Christmas time, for their birthday, and throughout the year.

There are about (30) children in Acadiana are in need of a “forever home”; however, there are over 3200 children in foster care currently in the state of LA; over 800 are teenagers.  There is a tremendous need for families willing to foster these teenagers!
