We are proud to announce our fourth annual Christmas toy drive, Precious Presents, was a huge success, delivering upwards of 100 toys this year to benefit the foster children of 4Kids of South Florida! We'd like to thank those who brought in physical gifts as well as those who directly donated. It's a blessing to be a blessing!

Good Gifts Delivered!

10/13/2019

After loading up the 16 boxes into the truck, we headed to testimony night at 4Kids' SOSI to drop off the items!

We successfully completed our first The Good Gift drive on September 17! After months of fundraising and collecting supplies on the personalized lists of 4Kids Spirit of Success Institute residents, we delivered 16 multipurpose boxes filled with requested items.

First of all, thank you to 4Kids of South Florida for allowing us to bless the young people who need it most. Secondly, thank you to all who donated and supported this drive!

Cheerfully,

Kristen Quesada

The Good Gift 2019

3/31/2019

Help us help those aging out of the foster system. Did you know that every year 26,000 children age out of the foster system and are often left with no resources and no support system?

Starting April 1, Friends for Fosters will be collecting supplies and monetary donations to gift the young adults aging out of foster care the necessities they lack. Visit our Projects tab to learn how you can help.

Humbly,

Kristen Quesada
Co-Founder and Director
