The phrase “it takes a village” may sound cliché, but it’s true. Stop for a moment and think about the people you lean on every day. It could be a parent or sibling who has always been there for you, or a friend or colleague who joined your journey along the way. Each of them is important for your well-being and your sense of belonging. They are your village.
Every day, we meet kids who do not have this kind of support. They are alone. They have no one to talk to. They need help.
That is why we are inviting you to join our Village of Hope, where together we can build a brighter future for children in need. Children’s Hope Alliance is a network of people with diverse skills who help move kids from a place of despair to a place of hope. We partner with teachers, doctors, and relatives to wrap these children in the love and safety they need, right in the communities where they live.
Read our inspiring story about Chris and Kristy, CHA foster parents, who became a village of hope for four foster siblings.
Meet Chris and Kristy
Kristy teaches at a local private school, where she met four siblings who were entering the foster care system and facing separation from each other. Kristy and her husband, Chris, knew they could not let this happen.
“We had the time, the space, and an SUV big enough for everyone. We knew how devastating it would be for the siblings to be separated,” Kristy mentioned.
Chris and Kristy were placed in a kinship arrangement with the kids, and their household grew overnight from a few to eight! It was a major transition for everyone, and they needed lots of support. That’s when they made the decision to become licensed foster parents. We were proud to step in and provide the guidance, structure, and encouragement they needed to care for these children.
“Children’s Hope Alliance has been nothing short of a blessing,” Kristy told us. “Their support has made all the difference.” Chris and Kristy are a great example of what it means to be a part of the Village of Hope. They stepped in to meet a need, and in turn, CHA was able to support them with our wraparound services. Now, almost a year later, the four children are thriving together with their newfound family.
