Sponsor a Foster Child
Foster Love: Wish Upon a Christmas Star
Every child deserves to experience the happiness of Christmas, especially those in foster care. Our charity, Wish Upon a Christmas Star, brightens the holiday season for foster children by fulfilling their Christmas wish lists. This initiative not only brings joy to the children but also fosters a sense of community and support.
The Need
- Number of Foster Children: Over 400,000 children are currently in the foster care system in the United States.
- Challenges Faced: Many foster children experience instability, with an average of 3-5 placements throughout their time in care, often leading to feelings of isolation and uncertainty.
- Holiday Impact: Studies show that during the holiday season, foster children often feel forgotten, with many not receiving any gifts.
How It Works
- Wishlists: Foster children create personalized wishlists, sharing their hopes and dreams for the holiday season.
- Sponsorship: Community members, businesses, and organizations can sponsor a child by choosing a wishlist to fulfill or donate towards items that are not gifted.
- Gift Collection: Sponsors provide the requested gifts, which will be collected and distributed to the children in time for Christmas or sponsors can order off the Amazon wishlist.
Why Sponsor a Child?
