Sometimes a family needs things that are larger or outside the box:
fees for sports, furniture, bicycles or even wheelchairs.
We may or may not have these things at the moment someone asks, but can certainly research ways to find them.
We always do our best to help our families!

Pastoral Counseling:
Fostering can take its toll on marriage and family. It is vitally important that foster parents get what they need and have someone to talk to who can relate to the specific issues of dealing with traumatized children. Shelter Care Resources can refer you to a group or counselor who understands your particular needs as a foster parent.

Child Care:
This is indeed one of the most difficult problems in fostering and parenting. Where do you send the kids for day care? We can help you search for someone to care for your child should you choose to take them in. (Keep in mind that foster children may be required to be near their school of origin.)
