4KIDS 4KIDS is committed to providing Hope, Homes, and Healing for every child and family in crisis. Learn how at: 4KIDS.us

Often we think of orphans as children who live in third world countries, those whose images we see on television or in the newspaper. But they’re not just around the globe, they’re also right here in our own backyard. On any given day in South Florida, there are three to four thousand “temporary orphans” in foster care. Imagine how children must feel when they’re removed from their homes, often wi

th nothing more than the clothes on their back and a garbage bag filled with whatever they were able to quickly pack. These children are created in the image of God and deserve to be treated with dignity and showered with love. So whether it’s a child who is a victim of abuse or neglect, a teenager rejected by his family, or a young girl who is pregnant and alone, from the moment they come into our care, we provide support, encouragement, and direction. Our Vision:

A Home for Every Child in Crisis


Core Values:

Sacrifice:::
Serving with the heart of God,whatever the cost. Perseverance:::
Never giving up on a child. Integrity:::
In everything, above reproach. Compassion:::
Walking with children on their path to redemption. Excellence:::
Giving our best to those in need.

On Saturday, our Broward foster and adoptive moms dressed in their finest for a special afternoon tea party at Calvary Chapel Parkland!

As a way to honor their dedication, love, and the countless ways they pour into the lives of children who need them most, we wanted to make sure these incredible women felt celebrated and appreciated.

With raffles, games, an encouraging message from 4KIDS adoptive mom Kim Daigle, and plenty of time to connect with one another, it was a wonderful afternoon filled with laughter, friendship, and support among women who share many of the same joys and challenges.

We're so thankful for these ladies! ❤️

A boy in one of our Neighborhood Foster Homes is already showing an incredible entrepreneurial spirit. At just 13-years-old, he’s working hard to grow his car washing business, carefully saving his money to purchase supplies and promote his services.

As he spends time with his brother and focuses on his goals, he continues to take positive steps toward a bright future. Most importantly, he recently prayed and accepted Jesus into his heart. With faith, determination, and a strong work ethic, he is building a foundation for success both now and in the years to come.

Our 4KIDS Specialized Homes Supervisor, Jalyssa, continues to encourage him as he walks this new journey of faith, reminding him that he is on the right path. It's incredible to witness the growth that happens when a young person is surrounded by love, support, and the genuine care they deserve.

You're never too young to make a difference!

Last week, we shared Christopher's story. He used his allowance money to buy toys for children in foster care, showing just how powerful generosity can be at any age. What makes his story even more inspiring is that he earned that money by working alongside his dad and using his talents and time to help others.

There are so many ways young people can use their creativity, skills, and energy to give back to their community. Whether it's setting up a lemonade stand, hosting a bake sale, or asking for donations in lieu of birthday gifts, every effort can make a meaningful impact.

4KIDS is only able to fulfill its mission because of our incredible . These dedicated men and women have said "yes" to opening their homes and hearts, providing love, stability, and care to children who have been removed from their homes through no fault of their own.

Every few months, we host a Kids Night Out, giving children a fun evening to play while foster parents have an opportunity to connect and recharge. With dinner, meaningful conversation, and an encouraging message designed to support them on their fostering journey, these gatherings create a sense of community and remind our families that they are not alone.

We are so grateful to provide these moments of connection, encouragement, and support.

We're grateful for every team member who helps make 4KIDS a place where children and families can thrive. 💙
